This old man
He played one
He played knick knack on my thumb
With a knick knack paddy whack
Give your dog a bone
This old man came rolling home
This old man
He played two
He played knick knack on my shoe
With a knick knack paddy whack
Give your dog a bone
This old man
He played three
He played knick knack on my knee
With a knick knack
Paddy whack
This old man
This old man
He played four
He played knick knack on my door
With a knick knack paddy whack
Give your dog a bone
This old man came rolling home
This old man
He played ten
He played knick knack on my shin
On my shin
With a knick knack paddy whack
Give your dog a bone
