All around the mulberry bush (or cobbler s bench)

The monkey chased the weasel;

The monkey thought twas all in fun, (or " twas all in good sport") (or "that it was a joke")

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.

Jimmy s got the whooping cough

And Timmy s got the measles

That s the way the story goes

Pop! goes the weasel.
