About National Pop Goes the Weasel Day
June 14th is set aside to observe National Pop Goes the Weasel Day.
On this day people can relive their childhood and recall the nursery rhymes they learned as children and celebrate the day singing “Pop Goes the Weasel”.
Half a pound of tuppenny rice,
Half a pound of treacle.
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.
Up and down the City road,
In and out the Eagle,
That's the way the money goes,
Pop goes the weasel.
The origins of this nursery rhyme are believed to date back to the 1700′s and mentions The Eagle tavern on London's City Road, which stopped being a pub in 1825, until rebuilt in 1901 and is still in existence.
