Full Lyrics

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

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