(c) An additional verse is sometimes sung with or in place of the above in London.
Up and down the City Road;
In and out the Eagle;
That’s the way the money goes,
Pop goes the weasel.
—(A. Nutt).
Mr. Nutt writes: “The Eagle was (and may be still) a well-known tavern and dancing saloon.”
Pop-the-Bonnet
A game in which two, each putting down a pin on the crown of a hat or bonnet, alternately pop on the bonnet till one of the pins crosses the other; then he at whose pop or tap this takes place, lifts the stakes.—Teviotdale (Jamieson). The same game is now played by boys with steel pens or nibs.
