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!

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

  • Mac and Cheese!

    ByWolfie

    “Mac and Cheese!” is an ode to the one meal that never gets turned down! After time and time again trying to make something nice for my kids for dinner, we’ve come to realize if there’s mac and cheese, it’s gonna be a winner.

  • Peanut Butter Sandwich!

    ByFoxy Rox

    Mom made something amazing for dinner. Dad put together a beautiful plate. And yet, the kid wants a peanut butter sandwich. Every family has that one meal their kid will always choose over whatever you actually cooked, and “Peanut Butter Sandwich!” turns that standoff into a groove. No negotiations, no bribes, just pure loyalty to their favorite food no matter what else is on offer.

  • Big ol’ Truck!

    ByFoxy Rox

    There’s no explaining it — your kid sees a truck and the whole world stops. Doesn’t matter if it’s a dump truck, a fire engine, or just a normal pickup. “Big ol’ Truck!” captures that pure, unfiltered hype that only a kid standing on the sidewalk pointing at heavy machinery can produce. Oh wow oh man! Inspired by a real quote from my son when he was 2.

  • It’s a Stick!

    ByWolfie

    Hand a kid a stick and watch what happens! It’s a sword. It’s a rocket ship. It’s the key to an entire kingdom that didn’t exist thirty seconds ago. “It’s a Stick!” captures that wild, beautiful imagination that turns the simplest thing in the yard into the greatest toy ever made. Plus, “It’s a beautiful incredible stick!” is a direct quote from my 3 year old.
