The clock struck one,
The mouse ran down

I'm not used to this song having additional verses, but that's how it's sung at local playgroups. Is this a recent development? A UK thing? A local thing?

I always have it followed by "All around the mulberry bush the monkey chased the weasel...."

Possibly I had a record where the two tunes ran directly one into the other? But as far as I'm concerned, "Pop goes the weasel" is the second verse to "Hickory Dickory Dock"
