All Around the Cobbler's Bench

All around the cobbler's bench
The monkey chased the weasel.
The monkey thought 'twas all in fun.
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.
	Up and down the City Road, In and out of the Eagle, 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! goes the weasel.

Treacle = molasses
Tuppeny = two pennies
The Eagle was a pub. MORE
