And these are the rhymes you can choose:
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!
Half a pound of tuppenny rice,
half a pound of treacle,
mix it up and make it nice.
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!
The wise men of Gotham
Three wise men of Gotham,
they went to sea in a bowl.
If the bowl had been stronger
my story would have been longer.
Humpty Dumpty
Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall.
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.
All the King's horses and all the King’s men
couldn't put Humpty together again.
The Dutch versions you can find on the Dutch 'side' of this blog.
