NURSERY RHYMES lyrics : "Pop Goes the Weasel (Version 2)"

All around the cobbler's bench
The monkey chased the weasel
The monkey thought 'twas all in fun

Pop -- goes the weasel!
Johnny's got the whooping cough and
Mary's got the measles

That's the way the money goes
Pop -- goes the weasel!
A penny for a spool of thread

A penny for a needle
That's the way the money goes
Pop -- goes the weasel!

You may try to sew and sew
And never make anything regal
So roll it up and let it go

Pop -- goes the weasel!
A painter would his lover to paint
He stood before the easel

The monkey jumped all over the paint
Pop -- goes the weasel!
When his sweetheart she did laugh

His temper got so lethal
He tore the painting up in half
Pop -- goes the weasel!

My son and I went to the fair
We saw a lot of people
We spent a lot of money there

Pop -- goes the weasel!
I got sick from all the sun
My sonny boy got the measles

Still we had a lot of fun
Pop -- goes the weasel!
I climbed up and down the coast

To find a golden eagle
I climbed the rocks and thought I was close
Pop -- goes the weasel!

But, alas, I lost my way
Saw nothing but a seagull
I tore my pants and killed the day

Pop -- goes the weasel!
I went to the grocery store
I thought a little cheese'll

Be good to catch a mouse on the floor
Pop -- goes the weasel!
But the mouse was very bright

He wasn't a mouse to wheedle
He took the cheese and said "Good night"
Pop -- goes the weasel!

Up and down the City Road
In and out the Eagle
That's the way the money goes

Pop -- goes the weasel!
Half a pound of tuppenny rice
Half a pound of treacle

Mix it up and make it nice
Pop -- goes the weasel!
Every night when I go out

The monkey's on the table
Take a stick and knock it off
Pop -- goes the weasel!

Put some pepper on its nose
And you'll make it sneeze-l
Catch it fast before it snaps --

Pop -- goes the weasel!
A penny for a cotton ball
A penny for a needle

That's the way the money goes
Pop -- goes the weasel!
If you want to buy a pig

Buy a pig with hairs on
Every hair a penny a pair
Pop -- goes the weasel!

All around the cobbler's bench
The monkey chased the weasel
The monkey thought 'twas all in fun

Pop -- goes the weasel!
I've no time to wait and sigh
I've no time to tease-l
Kiss me quick -- I'm off -- goodbye!
Pop -- goes the weasel!
