Lyrics

There's a strange old man
Who lives in a strange house
One day, I went to see him

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

You see how strange he is
This old man, he played two
He played knick-knack on my shoe
With a knick-knack paddywack, give a dog a bone
This old man came rolling home

And it gets even weirder
This old man, he played three
He played knick-knack on my knee
With a knick-knack paddywack, give a dog a bone
This old man came rolling home

Wait, there's more to come
He went and followed me home
This old man, he played four
He played knick-knack on my door
With a knick-knack paddywack, give a dog a bone
This old man came rolling home

Ha! It's only getting started
This old man, he played five
He played knick-knack on my hive
With a knick-knack paddywack, give a dog a bone
This old man came rolling home

Wait 'til you hear this one
This old man, he played six
He played knick-knack on my sticks
With a knick-knack paddywack, give a dog a bone
This old man came rolling home

You won't guess where he went next
This old man, he played seven
He played knick-knack up in heaven
With a knick-knack paddywack, give a dog a bone
This old man came rolling home

And suddenly, he was everywhere
This old man, he played eight
He played knick-knack on my gate
With a knick-knack paddywack, give a dog a bone
This old man came rolling home

Yup, it's pretty unbelievable
This old man, he played nine
He played knick-knack on my spine
With a knick-knack paddywack, give a dog a bone
This old man came rolling home

But he finally went home
This old man, he played ten
He played knick-knack home again
With a knick-knack paddywack, give a dog a bone
This old man came rolling home

All was well in the end, I think
