hello kids
we little children small people who will
grow into big people one day it's
nursery rhyme time today we're looking
at this very elderly fellow
an older chap jolly though before this
old man was an old man he was a math
teacher and he loved numbers you know
one two three big numbers small numbers
musical numbers if it had to do with
numbers and especially counting numbers
he was happy downright thrilled actually
man loved his numbers
well now in his old age this man has
devoted his life to playing knick-knack
which is all things considered simply
playing drums with spoons on the counter
while waiting for your mom to bring in
supper or the like sometimes he likes to
play one beat
and sometimes he likes to play 10
but he's always counting as he does it
here's an example he played one on his
thumb
one two on his shoe
one two
three on his knee
one two three
and four on his door one two three four
and after each one he gives his dog a
bone that's right a treat for old rover
a poodle i believe good looking pooch
must be all the extra bone treats he's
getting good for his calcium levels
back to business this old man he played
five on a hive of bees i might add one
two three four five could have been
dangerous but luckily bees are afraid of
poodles
this old man played six on a pile of
sticks which actually sounded like a
xylophone is quite nice one two three
four five six
seven up in heaven one two three or five
six seven and then he came back down
here and played eight on my gate of all
places one two three four five six seven
eight he didn't chip the paint so i was
okay with it but he should have asked
sorry he also played nine up and down a
vine one two three four five six seven
eight nine
and on ten he did it all over again one
and this old man he was so famous for
doing this over and over all over town
that there was even a song written about
it and it went something
like this
give a dog
with a knick-knack
this old man he plays seven he plays
wow that was fun now let's try counting
by tens
click right over here for a new counting
song from mr r songs for teaching
that old man was happy thanks for
counting tens with me 10 20 30 40 50 60
70 80 90 100.
