Pop Goes the Weasel is one of the songs that got me interested in thinking about the content of nursery rhymes, and what the words *actually* meant. I just read Heavy Words Lightly Thrown (eh, it was okay). Wikipedia has interesting entries on a lot of different nursery rhymes.
I've heard both versions, but I slightly prefer the cobbler's bench.
