This Old Man

This old man,

He played one,

He played knick-knack

On my thumb.

 

Refrain

With a knick-knack

Paddy whack,

Give a dog a bone

This old man

Came rolling home.

 

This old man,

He played two,

He played knick-knack

On my shoe.

 

This old man

He played three,

He played knick-knack

On my knee.

 

This old man

He played four,

He played knick-knack

On the door.

 

This old man

He played five,

He played knick-knack

On the hive.

 

This old man

He played six

He played knick-knack

On my sticks.

 

This old man

He played seven

He played knick-knack

Up to heaven.

 

This old man

He played eight

He played knick-knack

On the gate.

 

This old man

He played nine

He played knick-knack

On my spine.

 

This old man

He played ten

He played knick-knack

Once again.
