This Old Man

This old man, he played one
He played knick knack on my thumb
With a knick knack paddywhack give a 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 paddywhack give a dog a bone
This old man came rolling home

Instrumental

This old man, he played three
He played knick knack on my knee
With a knick knack paddywhack give a dog a bone
This old man came rolling home

This old man, he played four
He played knick knack on my door
With a knick knack paddywhack give a dog a bone
This old man came rolling home

Instrumental

This old man, he played five
He played knick knack on my hive
With a knick knack paddywhack give a dog a bone
This old man came rolling home

This old man, he played six
He played knick knack on my sticks
With a knick knack paddywhack give a dog a bone
This old man came rolling home

Instrumental

This old man, he played seven
He played knick knack up to heaven
With a knick knack paddywhack give a dog a bone
This old man came rolling home

This old man, he played eight
He played knick knack on my gate
With a knick knack paddywhack give a dog a bone
This old man came rolling home
Instrumental (4 bars) Modulate up a semitone to D

This old man, he played nine
He played knick knack all the time
With a knick knack paddywhack give a dog a bone
This old man came rolling home
This old man, he played ten
He played knick knack once again
With a knick knack paddywhack give a dog a bone
This old man came ro…..lling…… home!
