What is the origin of Pop goes the Weasel?

Origin Of Pop

“Pop! Goes the Weasel” is an English nursery rhyme and singing game.

Half a pound of tupenny rice,

Half a pound of treacle.

That’s the way the money goes,

Pop! goes the weasel.

Often a second verse is added:

Every night when I get home

The monkey’s on the table,

Take a stick and knock it off,

Pop! goes the weasel.

And:

Up and down the city road,

In and out the Eagle.

That’s the way the money goes,

Pop! goes the weasel.

Tuppeny relates to the price of two pennies, or tuppence as we used to say in England. Perhaps because of the obscure nature of the various lyrics there have been many suggestions for what they mean, particularly the phrase "Pop! goes the weasel", including: that it is a tailor's flat iron, a dead weasel, a hatter's tool, a clock reel used for measuring in spinning, a piece of silver plate, or that 'weasel and stoat' is Cockney rhyming slang for "throat", as in "Get that down yer Weasel" meaning to eat or drink something. An alternative meaning involves pawning one's coat in order to buy food and drink, as "weasel" is rhyming slang for "coat" and "pop" is a slang word for "pawn".
