About This Song

This classic nursery rhyme updated for the modern day! Our remix of “Pop! Goes the Weasel” flips the classic melody your kids already love with a brand new story: the monkey didn’t mean any harm, but the weasel wasn’t having fun, and now they’ve got to talk it out! It’s playground conflict resolution set to a beat, and it lands better than any lecture ever could.

This family hip hop remix takes a familiar nursery rhyme and adds new verses about asking before you play, respecting boundaries, and making friends. Perfect for toddlers and preschoolers learning to navigate relationships, “Pop! Goes the Weasel” has a hook catchy enough that the lesson actually sticks!

Lyrics

All around the mulberry bush
The monkey chased the weasel
The monkey thought it was all in fun
Then Pop! Goes the weasel

Pop pop little monkey
Not so big now
What’s all the hassle
Runnin’ me all around
I’m weaseling sneaseling
Trying to make space
But this whole time you chased me
What a disgrace

Oh dang Mr weasel
I had no idea
I thought we were gaming
Do you hear me for real
I didn’t mean to startle
Or get ya all mad
I was thinking this was fun
But my bad my bad!

All around the mulberry bush
The monkey chased the weasel
The monkey thought it was all in fun
Pop! Goes the weasel

Well hey miss monkey
I don’t mean to dissent
But I gotta teach ya
About a thing called consent
If we’re gonna play together
And have a good time
We both gotta agree
On the terms and the time

Alright Mr weasel
Hear you loud and clear
Next time I’ll ask
Instead of acting cavalier
I thought we’d have some fun
I never meant to torment
So that’s why we make sure
To always ask for consent

Would you like to play a game with me?
Oh heck yeah let’s play!

All around the mulberry bush
The monkey chased the weasel
The monkey thought it was all in fun
Pop! Goes the weasel

  • Twinkle Twinkle Little Star (R&B Mix)

    ByFoxy Rox

    You’ve sung “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star” a thousand times. In the car, at bedtime, in the grocery store when things were getting dicey. So we figured, what if that melody got the R&B treatment it’s been quietly deserving all along? This version keeps every word your kids already know and wraps it in a smooth, soulful groove that won’t make you want to leave the room by verse two.

  • Sorry Mommy (I Made a Mess)

    ByWolfie

    Every parent knows the scene: you just tidied up, turned around for one second, and your toddler has redecorated the entire room with blocks, trains, and dinosaurs. “Sorry Mommy (I Made a Mess)” captures that moment perfectly, the parenting experience told from the kid’s point of view. My three year old actually said “I’m sorry mommy, I made a mess” and I knew there was a song there!

  • I Had So Much Fun

    ByWolfie

    “I Had So Much Fun” is the mellow, end-of-day reprise from Snuggle Bunch’s second album. A gentle wind-down version of the title track that helps little ones settle after a big day of playing, laughing, and running around. Full lyrics and streaming links inside.

  • Inside Voices (Let’s Keep It Down)

    ByFoxy Rox

    You know that moment when your kid has exactly one volume setting (and it’s too loud?) When baby brother just nodded off, the teacher’s mid-sentence, and your child picks right now to test the acoustics. “Inside Voices (Let’s Keep It Down)” is for every parent who’s ever done the frantic whisper-shush while their kid stares back like you’re the unreasonable one.
