Jack Hickman	Pop Goes The Weasel (13)	RE: Pop Goes The Weasel	02 Nov 97
Of all places, this song was part of the plot of NYPD Blue last week, Andy, one of the Detectives, had been singing it to his infant son, and was curious as to the meaning. There was some discussion as to whether the words were "all around the mulberry bush" or "all around the cobbler's bench." Somewhere in the depths of my memory I seem to think it has something to do with a cobbler who has pawned all his tools to get enough money to go boozing. The weasel may be some type of cobbler's tool. This may not be right, but may be enough to stimulate some more authoritative discussion. Keep the Faith Jack Hickman
