All around the mulberry bush
The monkey chased the weasel
The monkey thought 'twas all in fun...
POP! Goes the weasel

Penny for a spool of thread
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 where to sigh
Or to tell the reason why
Kiss me quick, I'm off, good-bye...
POP! Goes the weasel
