Sorry,
I put the [ ] on so you'll know it's made up. Thought it was obvious... :p

Oh God I do know it! I was surprised to read that it was a real nursery song, then I listened to it and even though I've never heard the lyrics the melody is extremely familiar. I'm sure I must have had a music box or something playing it. (For the info, I grew up in France and Germany. Well, mostly France, but my aunt in Germany whom I visited regularly had a music box and I suspect it might have been this one.)

This is a song with many regional variants. In the time and place I was a boy, we learned the second verse thus:
"Five cents for a spool of thread
A dollar for an easel
That's the way the money goes.
Pop! Goes the weasel."
Must have been inflationary times.

That's actually the verse that made me add 'That’s the way the pennies go' to the second one I found.
easel - weasel, and a reference to money
