  1. One, two, five,
    I caught a hairy fox alive
    One, two, ten
    I let him go again
    I bet a crown with any man
    That all my stookes are twenty-one.

    I went into a tailor's shop
    I picked up a needle
    That's the way the money goes
    And pop goes the weasel,
    I went into a tailor's shop
    I sat upon the table
    the table broke and down I fell
    And pop goes the weasel.

    If I by chance should lose this book
    And you should chance to find it
    Remember Alice is my name
    And Mullan comes behind it.
