Pop goes the weasel (from Perry Public Library)
All around the mulberry bush, (bounce baby on your knees)
The monkey chased the weasel.
In and out and all about.
POP goes the weasel! (lift baby up)
All around the cobbler's bench, (bounce baby on your knees)
The monkey chased the weasel.
That's the way the money goes.
POP goes the weasel! (lift baby up)
All around the mulberry bush, (bounce baby on your knees)
The monkey chased the weasel.
The monkey stopped to scratch his head.
POP goes the weasel! (lift baby up)
