This Old Man

Ear Training

One more chance to practice playing without using the sheet music. Just hit the MP3 and play along with the backing track until you hit all the right notes. You have ten chances to get it right. I’ve provided the sheet music if it turns out to be hopeless.

Lyrics

  • This old man, he played ONE,
    he played knick knack on his DRUM.

    • With a knick knack paddy whack give the dog a bone.
      This old man came rolling home.
  • This old man, he played TWO,
    he played knick knack on his SHOE.
  • This old man, he played THREE,
    he played knick knack on his KNEE.
  • This old man, he played FOUR,
    he played knick knack on the DOOR.
  • This old man, he played FIVE,
    he played knick knack on a HIVE.
  • This old man, he played SIX,
    he played knick knack on some STICKS.
  • This old man, he played SEVEN,
    he played knick knack up in HEAV’N.
  • This old man, he played EIGHT,
    he played knick knack on the GATE.
  • This old man, he played NINE,
    he played knick knack on my SPINE.
  • This old man, he played TEN,
    he played knick knack once AGAIN.
