As far as I recall the second verse goes

Up and down the City Road
In and out the Eagle
That's the way the money goes
Pop goes the weasel

I always thought (don't know where I got it from, my East End Londoner Mum
maybe) that this referred to the City Road in East London, and the Eagle
was
the pub, which was where the money went !!
Love Christine

PS just found this website with info

The one I heard was used, I learned as a nursery rhyme:

All around the mulberry bush,
The monkey chased the weasel,
The monkey thought is was all for fun,
PoP goes the weasel.

Allededly if you did this right, the word POP marked a yard wound.

Our song was

Half a pound of tupperny rice
Half a pound of treacle
That's the way the money goes
POP goes the weasel
