This old man, he played one,
He played knick-knack
On my thumb.

CHORUS
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.
CHORUS

This old man, he played three,
He played knick-knack on my knee.
CHORUS

This old man, he played four,
He played knick-knack on my door.
CHORUS

This old man, he played five,
He played knick-knack on my hive.
CHORUS
