"Pop! Goes the Weasel" is a traditional English and American song, a country dance, nursery rhyme and singing game that emerged in the mid-19th century. It is commonly used in Jack-in-the-box toys and for ice cream trucks. The song is honored annually on June 14 which is National Pop Goes the Weasel Day in the USA.
The British lyrics are:
Half a pound of tuppeny rice,
Half a pound of treacle.
That's the way the money goes,
Pop! Goes the weasel.
The U.S. lyrics are:
All around the mulberry bush
The monkey chased the weasel
The monkey thought it was all in good fun
Pop! goes the weasel.
In 1964, comedian singer Allan Sherman recorded "Pop Hates the Beatles", a novelty song to the tune of "Pop Goes the Weasel" that condemns The Beatles with lyrics such as:
Ringo is the one with the drums.
The others all play with him.
It shows you what a boy can become.
Without a sense of rhythm.
