[intro] Let's All Sing Pop Goes the Weasel [verse] All around the cobblers bench The monkey chased the weasel The monkey thought 'twas all in fun POP! Goes the weasel. Pop, pop goes the weasel, the weasel. Pop goes the weasel... 'cause the weasel goes POP. A penny for a spool of thread A penny for a needle That's the way the money goes POP! Goes the weasel. Pop, pop goes the weasel, the weasel. Pop goes the weasel... 'cause the weasel goes POP. [scatting] [verse] The painter needs a ladder and brush The artist needs an easel; The dancers need a fiddler's tune POP! Goes the weasel. Pop, pop goes the weasel, the weasel. Pop goes the weasel... 'cause the weasel goes POP. [spoken] You know, that rascally Weasel. Well sometimes he pops at the most unfortunate time. Sometimes, I want him to stop. Before he pops. Pop, pop, pop. Be-bop. Hip hop, and you don't stop. You know why? Because, Pop goes the weasel... 'cause the weasel goes, POP. [scatting outro]
