Rhyme : This Old Man







This old man, he played one,

He played knick-knack on my thumb;

With a knick-knack paddywhack,

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 paddywhack,

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 paddywhack,

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 paddywhack,

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 paddywhack,

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 paddywhack,

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 paddywhack,

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 paddywhack,

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 paddywhack,

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 paddywhack,

Give a dog a bone,

This old man came rolling home.
