Hickory Dickory Dock

Hickory Dickory Dock
The mouse ran up the clock.
The clock struck one,
The mouse ran down
Hickory Dickory Dock.

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 didn't know the other verses until Owen came along, so imagine they are relatively recent. He keeps asking for hickory dickory dock at the moment in fact and knows the verses which I do (up to four).

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"
