This Old Man Lyrics

[Verse 1]
This old man he played one
He played knick knack on my thumb
With a knick knack paddy whack, give your dog a bone
This old man came rolling home

[Verse 2]
This old man he played two
He played knick knack on my shoe
With a knick knack paddy whack, give your dog a bone

[Verse 3]
This old man he played three
He played knick knack on my knee
With a knick knack paddy whack
This old man

[Verse 4]
This old man he played four
He played knick knack on my door
With a knick knack paddy whack, give your dog a bone
This old man came rolling home

[Verse 5]
This old man he play ten
He played knick knack on my shin, on my shin
With a knick knack paddy whack, give your dog a bone

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
