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

A penny for a needle.

Pop! goes the weasel.

Up and down the City Road,
In and out of the Eagle,
That's the way the money goes.
Pop! goes the weasel.

Half a pound of tuppenney rice,
Half a pound of treacle,
Mix it up and make it nice,
Pop! goes the weasel.

I went to the animal fayre
The birds and the beasts were there,
The big baboon by the light of the moon

Slid down the elephants trunk,
The elephant sneezed and fell on his knees,
And what became of the monkey, monkey, monkey,
Monkey, monkey, monkey, monkey ....?

This little piggy went to the market.
This little piggy stayed home.

On the tree or on the ground.
Apples yellow, apples red,
Apple pie and juice and bread!
Apples crunchy, apples sweet;
Apples are so good to eat!

If it’s windy and you know it swing and sway.
If it’s windy and you know it,
Then your clothes will surely show it.

If it’s windy and you know it, swing and sway.
If it’s sunny and you know it, then go play.
If it’s sunny and you know it, then go play.
If it’s sunny and you know it,
Then your clothes will surely show it.
If it’s sunny and you know it, then go play.

If it’s rainy and you know it, splash about.
If it’s rainy and you know it, splash about.
If it’s rainy and you know it,
Then your clothes will surely show it.
If it’s rainy and you know it, splash about.

If it’s snowy and you know it, stomp around.
If it’s snowy and you know it, stomp around.
If it’s snowy and you know it,
Then your clothes will surely show it.
If it’s snowy and you know it, stomp around.
