Half a pound of tuppenny rice,
Half a pound of treacle.
That’s the way the money goes,
Plonk! goes the Nadin.
Up and down the City road,
In and out the Eagle,
That’s the way the money goes,
Plonk! goes the Nadin.
A penny for a spool of thread,
A penny for a needle.
That’s the way the money goes,
Plonk! goes the Nadin.
Round and round the mulberry bush
The monkey chased the weasel.
The monkey stopped to pull up his socks
and Plonk! goes the Nadin.
I've no time to plead and pine
I've no time to wheedle
Kiss me quick, and then I'm gone
Plonk! goes the Nadin.
All around the cobbler's Bench
The monkey chased the weasel.
The monkey thought it all in fun,
Plonk! goes the Nadin.
