Pop Goes The Weasel My Ass !

Post by Nomad »

Ive just been made aware this is what theyre teaching our children in grade school. Are you believing this ? The weasel may pop here and pop there pop everywhere but I see no reason to make the little kids sing about it. Id like to know who the monkey chasing the weasel is. Whats that supposed to mean anyway ? Women use hygienic products for their petunias are they going to start singing about that too ?

This is an outrage !

All around the mulberry bush

The monkey chased the weasel.

The monkey thought 'twas all in fun.

Pop! goes the weasel

According to spot this song is about a pub in England.

We had this discussion the day I went to the airport... since we passed the proposed pub on the way.

Half a pound of tuppenny rice,

Half a pound of treacle.

That’s the way the money goes,

Pop goes the weasel.

Up and down the City road,

In and out the Eagle,

That’s the way the money goes,

Pop goes the weasel.

Every night when I go out

the monkey’s on the table.

Take a stick and knock it off

Pop goes the weasel.

A penny for a ball of thread

Another for a needle,

That’s the way the money goes,

pop goes the weasel.

All around the cobblers bench

the monkey chased the people;

The donkey thought ’twas all in fun,

pop goes the weasel.

Now see what you've done, you've got her started. Someone see if they can take that bottle off her before she has any more from it.

Making love shouldn't be mocked, Nomie. It's the most wonderful thing money can buy.

I'll grant you that the most reasonable interpretation on that page is the one you gave, spot. Popping=pawning Weasel=double debased cockney slang for suit. But they say there is still any evidence lacking that ties in the date of the song... or something like that.

I'm more deeply concerned with the fact that Nomad actually uttered the phrase "women's petunias."

And perhaps more troubling than even that is the fact that um well...

Nomad, what petunias?! Everybody knows women look like orchids.

I'm getting concerned about you, Sugarplum. :-3
