This old man, he played one
He played knick-knack on my thumb
With a knick-knack patty-whack, give a dog a bone
This old man came rolling home

With a knick-knack patty-whack, give a dog a bone

He played knick-knack on my knee
With a knick-knack patty-whack, give a dog a bone
This old man came rolling home

He played knick-knack on my door
With a knick-knack patty-whack, give a dog a bone
This old man came rolling home

He played knick-knack on my hive
With a knick-knack patty-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 patty-whack, give a dog a bone
This old man came rolling home

He played knick-knack up in heaven
With a knick-knack patty-whack, give a dog a bone

He played knick-knack on my gate
With a knick-knack patty-whack, give a dog a bone

With a knick-knack patty-whack, give a dog a bone
