Pop Goes the Weasel Nursery Rhyme
Half a pound of tuppenny rice, Half a pound of treacle. That’s the way the money goes, Pop! Goes the weasel. Weasel Willy, sly and fleet, Sniffs the air with eager feat. Bakery window, oh so bright, Filled with goodies, what a sight! Cakes and pastries, sweet and grand, A tempting feast throughout the land. Willy's tummy rumbles low, A sugary adventure, here he’ll go. With nimble paws and heart aflame, He squeezes through a tiny frame. Past the counter, dark and deep, To the treasure trove, he’ll creep and peep. Donuts, muffins, sticky buns, Oh, the choices, what sweet funs! He snatches quickly, oh so sly, Before the baker’s watchful eye. With a mouthful of crumbs, he flees, To his burrow, safe with ease. A sugary dream, a tasty haul, Willy the weasel, standing tall. So next time you see a bakery bright, Think of Willy’s midnight flight. A furry thief with a sweet tooth, A tale of mischief, filled with truth.

Half a pound of treacle.
That's the way the money goes,
Pop! Goes the weasel.
