A well-loved children's song: This Old Man aka Knick Knack Paddy Whack.
This old man, he played one,
He played knick-knack on my thumb,
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,
With a knick knack, paddy whack,
Give a 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, paddy whack,
Give a 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, paddy whack,
Give a dog a bone,
This old man came rolling home.
This old man, he played five,
He played knick-knack on my hive,
With a knick knack, paddy whack,
Give a dog a bone,
This old man came rolling home.
This old man, he played six,
He played knick-knack on my sticks,
With a knick knack, paddy whack,
Give a dog a bone,
This old man came rolling home.
This old man, he played seven,
He played knick-knack up in heaven,
With a knick knack, paddy whack,
Give a dog a bone,
This old man came rolling home.
This old man, he played eight,
He played knick-knack on my gate,
With a knick knack, paddy whack,
Give a dog a bone,
This old man came rolling home.
This old man, he played nine,
He played knick-knack on my spine,
With a knick knack, paddy whack,
Give a dog a bone,
This old man came rolling home.
This old man, he played ten,
He played knick-knack once again,
With a knick knack, paddy whack,
Give a dog a bone,
This old man came rolling home.
