{c: verse 1}
[E]All a[B]round the [E]cobblers bench
the monkey [B]chased the [E]weasel
the monkey [B]thought ‘twas [E]all in [C#m7]fun
[F#m7]Pop [B7]goes the [E]weasel

[C#m]I’ve no time to [G#m]wait and sigh
No [C#m]patience to wait till [G#m]by’n by
So [F#m]kiss me quick, I’m off, goodbye
[F#m7]Pop [B7]goes the [E]weasel.

{c: verse 2}
[E]A nickel [B]for a [E]spool of thread
A penny [B]for a [E]needle
That’s the way [B]the mon[E]ey [C#m7]goes
[F#m7]Pop [B7]goes the [E]weasel

[C#m]You may try to [G#m]sew and sew
And [C#m]never make something [G#m]regal
So [F#m]till it up and let it go
[F#m7]Pop [B7]goes the [E]weasel

{c: verse 3}
[E]I went [B]to a [E]lawyer today
For something [B]very [E]legal
He asked how [B]much Im [E]willing to [C#m7]pay
[F#m7]Pop [B7]goes the [E]weasel

[C#m]I will bargain [G#m]all my days
But [C#m]never again so [G#m]feeble
I [F#m]paid for every legal phrase
[F#m7]Pop [B7]goes the [E]weasel

{c: verse 4}
[E]A painter [B]would his [E]lover to paint
He stood be[B]fore the [E]easel
A monkey [B]jumped all [E]over the [C#m7]paint
[F#m7]Pop [B7]goes the [E]weasel

[C#m]When his lover [G#m]she did laugh
His [C#m]temper got very [G#m]lethal
He [F#m7]tore the painting up in half
[F#m7]Pop [B7]goes the [E]weasel

{c: verse 5}
[E]I went [B]hunting [E]up in the woods
It wasn’t [B]very [E]legal
The dog and [B]I were [E]caught when the [C#m7]goods
[F#m7]Pop [B7]goes the [E]weasel

[C#m]I said I don’t [G#m]hunt or sport
The [C#m]warden looked at my [G#m]beagle
He [F#m7]said to tell it to the court
[F#m7]Pop [B7]goes the [E]weasel

{c: verse 6}
[E]My son [B]and I we [E]went to the fair
And there were [B]lots of [E]people
We spent a [B]lot of [E]money, I [C#m7]swear
[F#m7]Pop [B7]goes the [E]weasel

[C#m]I got sick from [G#m]all the sun
My [C#m]Sonny boy got the [G#m]measels
But [F#m]still we had a lot of fun
[F#m7]Pop [B7]goes the [E]weasel

{c: verse 7}
[E]I went [B]up and down [E]on the coast
To find a [B]golden [E]eagle
I climbed the [B]rocks and [E]thought I was [C#m7]close
[F#m7]Pop [B7]goes the [E]weasel

[C#m]But alas I [G#m]lost my way
Saw [C#m]nothing but just a [G#m]sea gull
I [F#m7]tore my pants and killed the day
[F#m7]Pop [B7]goes the [E]weasel

{c: verse 8}
[E]I went [B]to the [E]grocery store
I thought a [B]little [E]cheese’ll
Be good to [B]catch a [E]mouse in the [C#m7]floor
[F#m7]Pop [B7]goes the [E]weasel

[C#m]But the mouse [G#m]was very bright
He [C#m]wasn’t a mouse to [G#m]wheedle
He [F#m]took the cheese an said “good night”
[F#m7]Pop [B7]goes the [E]weasel
