All around the cobbler's bench The monkey chased the weasel The monkey thought 'twas all in fun Pop! Goes the weasel A penny for a spool of thread A penny for a needle That's how the money goes Pop! Goes the weasel Potatoes for an Irish man's taste A doctor for the measles A fiddler always for a dance So pop! Goes the weasel The pudding for a dodge man's gift The workman for a chisel The tune that everybody sings is Pop! Goes the weasel Round about the farmer's barn The mice begin to missile But when they poked there noses out Pop! Goes the weasel The painter works with ladder and brush The artist with the easel The fiddler always snaps the string and Pop! Goes the weasel Pop! Goes the weasel Pop! Goes the weasel
