There's a rhyme that ends in "Pop goes the Weasel"

[netmouse]

How do YOU think the rest of the rhyme goes?

Round and round the mulberry bush,
the monkey chased the weasel.
The weasel thought it was a joke.
Pop goes the weasel.
Penny for a spool of thread.
Penny for a needle.
That's the way the money goes.
Pop goes the weasel.

(I think there's more, but that's what I know off the top of my head.)

A penny for a spool of thread
A penny for a needle
That's the way the money goes
Pop goes the weasel!

There's another verse I only half remember:
Around and round the mulberry bush
the monkey chased the weasel
Something-something-something-something
Pop goes the weasel!

Half a pound of tuppeny rice
Half a pound of treacle
mumble mumble mumble mumble
Pop goes the weasel!

The third line, and all other verses, have rotted out of my memory.

Owl needs a paternity test,
out an egg did hatch a weasel.
The test came back and what do you know?
"Pop!" Goes the weasel.

All around the mulberry bush
the monkey chased the weasel
the monkey stopped to pick up a sock
pop goes the weasel

Round and round 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 morning goes
Pop goes the weasel.

I seem to vaguely recall there being a third verse, but cannot think of it.

round & round the mulberry bush
the monkey chased the weasel,
(and something something somepety-thing)
pop goes the weasel

Round and round the mulberry bush
the monkey chased the weasel
the monkey thought it was all in good fun
POP! goes the weasel.

If anyone's caught taking graft and I don't get my share,
we stand them up against the wall and pop goes the weasel!

Sorry, the Marx Brothers loom prominently in my head.

Up and down the City Road,
In and out the Eagle,
That's the way the money goes.
Pop! goes the weasel.

It's to be found in Iona and Peter Opie's Oxford Book of Nursery Rhymes.

Not exactly a rhyme in the first verse.

All around the mulberry bush,
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

There are more verses, but this is all I know.

I wrote a great many new verses of this when I was doing fisher work in California (AKA "chasing weasels,") but I imagine you're looking for something a bit more traditional... the version I learned as a child was:

Round and round the mulberry bush
The monkey chased the weasel
The monkey thought 'twas all in fun
Pop goes the weasel!
