Knick-Knack-Song (This Old Man)

This old man, he played one,
He played knick-knack on my drum.
Knick-knack paddywhack,
Give a dog a bone,
This old man came rolling home.

Chanson de la babiole (Ce vieil homme)

Ce vieil homme, il jouait un,
Il jouait à la babiole sur mon tambour.
Babiole paddywhack,
Donne un os à un chien,
Ce vieil homme rentrait à la maison.
