what are the words to pop goes the wesal?

Answer 1

All around the Mulberry Bush
The Monkey chased the Weasel
The Monkey thought it was all in fun
Pop Goes the Weasel

A Penney for a spool of Thread
A penny for the needle
That's the way the whole song goes
Pop Goes the Weasel

I forget the details, but, my Gran told me that that song was based on some scandal and that the weasel , the monkey and the mulberry bush all stood for real people.
I think it had something to do with embezzlement of monies, and in the end the weasel had his head chopped off.

Answer 2

original lyrics :
Pop goes the Weasel

Half a pound of tuppenny rice,
Half a pound of treacle.
That’s the way the money goes,
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.

A penny for a spool of thread,
A penny for a needle.
That’s the way the money goes,
Pop! goes the weasel.
