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

  • Squeaky Clean!

    ByFoxy Rox

    Bath time in our house goes one of two ways: absolute refusal to get in, or absolute refusal to get out. Usually both. “Squeaky Clean!” is for that first hurdle — getting everyone into the tub with minimal negotiations. Once the suds are flowing and the rub-a-dub-dub kicks in, even the most reluctant bather starts having a good time. Just please don’t pee! We’re trying to get clean.

  • Schmutz!

    ByWolfie

    There’s always something on their face. You don’t know what it is, or how it got there, but it needs to come off before we meet the grandparents! “Schmutz!” is a love letter to that universal parent move — the lick-the-thumb wipe, the sleeve grab, the “hold still for one second” that never actually takes one second. Sometimes it’s crusty, sometimes it’s soft, and it’s always the most embarrassing moment.

  • 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.

  • Time to Take a Nap (Foxy’s Version)

    ByFoxy Rox

    One of our first songs was a lullaby featuring folk singer Mama Goose. After recording, we decided to let Foxy have a shot at recording this a laid-back, melodic spin on one of our first tracks. It hits different when you need something a little softer to wind things down. Featuring an extended outro thats designed to give parents the time to pause the music and sneak out of the room.
