This old man, he played one,
He played knick-knack on my thumb;
Knick-knack paddywhack,
Give a dog a bone,
This old man came rolling home.

He played knick-knack on my shoe;

Give a dog a bone,
This old man came rolling home.

Give a dog a bone,
This old man came rolling home.

Give a dog a bone,
This old man came rolling home.

Knick-knack paddywhack,
Give a dog a bone,
This old man came rolling home.
