Song Lyrics

Greg: This old man, he played one
He played nick nack on my drum
With a nick-nack-paddy-wack
Give a dog a bone
All: This old man came rolling home

He played nick nack on my shoe
With a nick-nack-paddy-wack
Give a dog a bone
All: This old man came rolling home

He played nick nack on my knee
With a nick-nack-paddy-wack
Give a dog a bone
All: This old man came rolling home
This old man came rolling home

He played nick nack on the floor
With a nick-nack-paddy-wack
Give a dog a bone

With a nick-nack-paddy-wack
Give a dog a bone

With a nick-nack-paddy-wack

He played nick nack up in heaven
With a nick-nack-paddy-wack
Give a dog a bone

Give a dog a bone
All: This old man came rolling home

With a nick-nack-paddy-wack
Give a dog a bone
All: This old man came rolling home

He played nick nack once again
With a nick-nack-paddy-wack
Give a dog a bone
All: This old man came rolling home
