[Verse 1]
[G]Good for you!
For this next song, This Old Man,
there are two sets of
directions to remember.
First, sit on the floor
and place your hands in your lap.
Hold up the correct number of fingers
as I call out the different
numbers.
For example, when I call out,
This old man, he plays one,
you hold up one finger.
Second, when I sing with a knick -knack, patty -whack,
give the dog a bone,
this old man came rolling home.
Clap your hands two times,
then slap your lap two times.
Pretend to hand the dog a bone,
then roll your hands one
over the other."
many things to remember?
Well, we'll try it slowly at first. Listen.
When I call out, this old man,
he plays one,
you hold up one finger.
If I should say,
this old man he plays two,
you'll hold up two fingers.
Secondly, when I sing with a knick
-knack paddywhack,
give the dog a bone,
this old man came rolling home.
Clap your hands two times,
then slap your lap two times,
pretend to hand the dog a bone,
then roll your hands one over the other.
I think you'll get it after [D]a style.[G]

your hands and slap your lap,
And feed the dog.
