Lyrics[]
2002 version[]
Archibald and Kids: 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
Archibald: Ah! Lovely. Oh! One more time.
Archibald and Kids: 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
Archibald: Ha! That's my shoe you got there. Heh.
Archibald and Kids: 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
Archibald: Oh, rolling, rolling, rolling. Lovely!
Archibald and Kids: 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
Archibald: Try not to scratch the door, please. Thank you.
Archibald and Kids: 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
Archibald: I'd stay away from beehives if I were you, kids.
Archibald and Kids: 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
Archibald: Wonderful! Aren't we having fun?
Archibald and Kids: 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
Archibald: Oh, marvelous. All the way to Heaven. Ha!
Archibald and Kids: 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
Archibald: You think he's getting dizzy, don't you? Ha!
Archibald and Kids: 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
Archibald: And I've got a fine adjustment.
Archibald and Kids: 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
Archibald: This old man came rolling home
Archibald and Kids: Came rolling home
Archibald: Ho-ho! It's lovely! Listen to it! Like angels! Yes, thank you! *sighs*
