Well, this old man, he played one
He played knick-knack on my thum
Knick-knack, paddiwack
Give a dog a bone
This old man came a-rollin' home
Well, this old man, he played two
He played knick-knack on my shoe
Well, knick-knack, paddiwack
Give a dog a bone
This old man came a-rollin' home
Well, this old man, he played four
He played knick-knack on my door
Knick-knack, paddiwack
Give a dog a bone
This old man came a-rollin' home
Yeah!
