All around the cobblers 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 the way the money goes
POP! Goes the weasel

The painter needs a ladder and brush
The artist needs an easel;
The dancers need a fiddler's tune
POP! Goes the weasel

I've no time to wait and sigh
Or to tell the reason why
Kiss me quick, I'm off, good-bye
POP! Goes the weasel
