Half a pound of tuppenny rice
Half a pound of treacle
That's the way the money goes
Pop! goes the Weasel.

Such a fun children’s rhyme, but it’s origins
are in poverty.
In 18th century Cockney slang,
‘weasel and stoat’ meant coat
and ‘pop’ was to pawn.

For the itch, the stitch, rheumatic, and the gout,
If the devil isn't in you, this well will take it out."

One of the most well known Malay nursery rhymes is Bangau oh Bangau (Stork oh Stork), a cause-and-effect song explaining that the stork is thin ultimately because the snake eats frogs. It also alludes to the ability of frogs to call rain, a common old belief
