Pop! Goes the Weasel | Family Sing Along - Muffin Songs

LYRICS:

All around the cobbler's bench
The monkey chased the weasel
The monkey thought 'twas all in fun
Pop -- goes the weasel!
Johnny's got the whooping cough and
Mary's got the measles
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!
You may try to sew and sew
And never make anything regal
So roll it up and let it go
Pop -- goes the weasel!

A painter would his lover to paint
He stood before the easel
The monkey jumped all over the paint
Pop -- goes the weasel!
When his sweetheart she did laugh
His temper got so lethal
He tore the painting up in half
Pop -- goes the weasel!

My son and I went to the fair
We saw a lot of people
We spent a lot of money there
Pop -- goes the weasel!
I got sick from all the sun
My sonny boy got the measles
Still we had a lot of fun
Pop -- goes the weasel!

I climbed up and down the coast
To find a golden eagle
I climbed the rocks and thought I was close
Pop -- goes the weasel!
But, alas, I lost my way
Saw nothing but a seagull
I tore my pants and killed the day
Pop -- goes the weasel!

I went to the grocery store
I thought a little cheese'll
Be good to catch a mouse on the floor
Pop -- goes the weasel!
But the mouse was very bright
He wasn't a mouse to wheedle
He took the cheese and said "Good night"
Pop -- goes the weasel!

All around the cobbler's bench
The monkey chased the weasel
The monkey thought 'twas all in fun
Pop -- goes the weasel!
I've no time to wait and sigh
I've no time to tease-l
Kiss me quick -- I'm off -- goodbye!
Pop -- goes the weasel!

Winter Spring Summer and Fall
Winter Spring Summer and Fall
Winter Spring Summer and Fall

Winter!
White snowflakes, falling down.
Spring!
There’re flowers all around.
Summer!
Let’s go to the sea, sea, sea!
Fall!
Leaves are tumbling down.
Go go go!

Winter Spring Summer and Fall
Winter Spring Summer and Fall
Winter Spring Summer and Fall
Winter Spring Summer and Fall
One year, four seasons in all.

The funnest farm - Nursery Rhymes - Toobys

Lyrics:

This is the funnest,
farm in the world
the sun is waking up
and showers us with gold

The rooster gets up
all of his friends
and tells everyone he knows
that the fun will never end

The cow took the day off
she just wants to sing and play
instead of serving her white milk
she´ll be dressing up today

The farmer is preparing
brush and paint he sets aside
painting big balloons with smiles
that he´ll set free in the skies

Everyone is happy for today
everything will always be okay
`cause today we will be a great day
we will cheer and celebrate
`cause nobody will be working
everybody lets go play

This is the funnest,
farm in the world
the sun is waking up
and showers us with gold

The rooster gets up
all of his friends
and tells everyone he knows
that the fun will never end

The hen isnt working
not one egg she will be laying
instead she is on her skateboard
with the cat and dog she´s playing
Sheep and horse at the salon
trying to give it a whirl
he will get his bangs brushed out
and instead she gets some curls

Everyone is happy for today
everything will always be okay
`cause today we will be a great day
we will cheer and celebrate
`cause nobody will be working
everybody let`s go play

`cause today we will be a great day
we will cheer and celebrate
`cause nobody will be working
everybody let`s go play
