Pop! goes the weasel.
In da UK version of this nersary rhyme it was usually "all around the cobbler's bench." This gives us a better idea of the songs original meaning. Most peps think "Pop Goes the Weasel" describes the act of weaving, spinning, and sewing. A weasel was a mechanism used by tailors, cobblers, n hatters that "popped" when the spool was full of thread.
Sum argue that to pop the weasel is also cockney slang meaning to pawn one's coat. This makes sense in light of the second verse of the kids' version: "A penny for a spool of thread / A penny for a needle / That's the way the money goes," etc. A version popular in 19th-century English music halls makes things even clearer: "Up and down the City Road / In and out the Eagle / That's the way the money goes," etc. The Eagle in question was a London tavern; clearly the writer was describing the consequences of spending too little time at the cobbler's bench and too much on a barstool.
