This Old Man - Nursery Rhyme Song for Kids

In this fun sing-along video for kids, a zany old man enjoys nick-nacking, paddy-whacking, and tending to his dog. You might even say he’s on a roll. The value of this nursery rhyme is that it helps kids be mindful of which number they have counted, make a rhyme to go with that number, and enjoy a super silly song.

This Old Man song lyrics

This old man
He played one
He played nick-nack
On my thumb

With a nick-nack
Paddy whack
Give a dog a bone
This old man came rolling home

This old man
He played two
He played nick-nack
On my shoe

With a nick-nack
Paddy whack
Give a dog a bone
This old man came rolling home

This old man
He played three
He played nick-nack
On my knee

With a nick-nack
Paddy whack
Give a dog a bone
This old man came rolling home

This old man
He played four
He played nick-nack
On my door

With a nick-nack
Paddy whack
Give a dog a bone
This old man came rolling home

This old man
He played five
He played nick-nack
On my hive

With a nick-nack
Paddy whack
Give a dog a bone
This old man came rolling home

This old man
He played six
He played nick-nack
On my sticks

With a nick-nack
Paddy whack
Give a dog a bone
This old man came rolling home

This old man
He played seven
He played nick-nack
Up in heaven

With a nick-nack
Paddy whack
Give a dog a bone
This old man came rolling home

This old man
He played eight
He played nick-nack
On my gate

With a nick-nack
Paddy whack
Give a dog a bone
This old man came rolling home

This old man
He played nine
He played nick-nack
On my spine

With a nick-nack
Paddy whack
Give a dog a bone
This old man came rolling home

This old man
He played ten
He played nick-nack
Once again

With a nick-nack
Paddy whack
Give a dog a bone
This old man came rolling home
