<P> All around the mulberry bush, The monkey chased the weasel . The monkey stopped to pull up his sock, (or The monkey stopped to scratch his nose) (or The monkey fell down and oh what a sound) 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 . </P> <P> Contemporary verses in the United States include these, the first three being sung one after the other with the third getting the' closing' version of the tune . </P> <P> All around the mulberry bush, (or cobbler's bench) (or carpenter's bench) The monkey chased the weasel . The monkey thought' twas all in good fun, (or' twas all in good sport) (or that it was a joke) (or it was a big joke) (or' twas all in fun) Pop! goes the weasel . Up and down the King's Road, In and out the Eagle, That's the way the money goes - 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 . Jimmy's got the whooping cough And Timmy's got the measles . That's the way the story goes, Pop! goes the weasel . I've no time to wait and sigh, No patience to wait' til by and by . Kiss me quick, I'm off, goodbye! Pop! goes the weasel . </P> <P> There are numerous American versions as printed in Vance Randolph, Ozark Folksongs, Volume III, pp. 368--369 . Randolph's #556, the A text . Collected 1926 from Mrs. Marie Wilbur of Pineville, Missouri . </P>
