Pop Goes the Weasel
/ˌpɒp ɡəʊz ðə ˈwiːzl/
/ˌpɑːp ɡəʊz ðə ˈwiːzl/
- a popular British song in the 19th century, still sung today though mainly by children. Nobody is sure what the title means, and it may be simply a nonsense phrase. The first verse is: “Half a pound of twopenny rice,Half a pound of treacle;That's the way the money goes,Pop goes the weasel!”
