Lyrics

All around the mulberry bush

The monkey chased the weasel

The monkey stopped to pick up his hat

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 

All around the mulberry bush

The doggie chased the weasel

The doggie stopped to wag his tail

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 

All around the mulberry bush

The kitty chased the weasel 

The kitty stopped to lick her fur 

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 

All around the mulberry bush

The froggy chased the weasel

The froggy stopped to catch a fly

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 

All around the mulberry bush

The bunny chased the weasel. 

The bunny stopped to wiggle his ears

 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 

All around the mulberry bush

The lizard chased the weasel

The lizard stopped to roll her eyes

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
