KNICK KNACK PADDY WHACK
Traditional lyrics and music. Some added lyrics and arrangement by Winston Apple)

This old man, he played one, he played knick-knack just for fun
With a knick-knack paddy whack, give a dog a bone
This old man comes rolling home

This old man, he played two, he played knick-knack so should you
With a knick-knack paddy whack, give a dog a bone
This old man comes rolling home

This old man, he played three, he played knick-knack just like me
With a knick-knack paddy whack, give a dog a bone
This old man comes rolling home

This old man, he played four, he played knick-knack more and more
With a knick-knack paddy whack, give a dog a bone
This old man comes rolling home

This old man, he played five, he plays knick-knack jukes and jives
With a knick-knack paddy whack, give a dog a bone
This old man comes rolling home

This old man, he played six, he plays knick-knack with drumsticks
With a knick-knack paddy whack, give a dog a bone
This old man comes rolling home

This old man, he played seven, when he plays knick-knack, he’s in heaven
With a knick-knack paddy whack, give a dog a bone
This old man comes rolling home

This old man, he played eight, he plays knick-knack stays up late
With a knick-knack paddy whack, give a dog a bone
This old man comes rolling home

This old man, he plays nine, when he plays knick-knack, he feels fine
With a knick-knack paddy whack, give a dog a bone
This old man comes rolling home

This old man, he played ten, he plays knick-knack again and again
With a knick-knack paddy whack, give a dog a bone
This old man came rolling home

This old man came rolling home
