Lyrics
Half a pound of tuppenny rice, half a pound of treacle,
That’s the way the money goes, pop goes the weasel.
Ev’ry time when I go out, weasel’s on the table,
Take a stick and knock it off, 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.

REPEAT

Why did the weasel go pop, go pop, pop, pop goes the weasel,
Why did the weasel go pop ‘cos they upped the price of tuppenny rice to fourpence.

How did the pop get into the weasel, weasel, pop goes the weasel,
How did the pop get in there ‘cos the weasel caught his beakle in the treacle.

Now if you get a weasel and you don’t want him to pop,
The next time you go shopping, don’t take him in the shop.

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

Half a pound of tuppenny rice, half a pound of treacle,
Mix it up and make it nice, pop, pop, pop goes the weasel,
Pop, pop, pop goes the weasel, pop, pop, pop goes the weasel now.
