This Old Man

[SaltBoy]

Can anybody interpret the following lyrics?

This old man, he played one
He played knick-knack on my thumb
With a knick-knack paddywhack, give a dog a bone
This old man came rolling home

This old man, he played two
He played knick-knack on my shoe
With a knick-knack paddywhack, give a dog a bone
This old man came rolling home

This old man, he played three
He played knick-knack on my knee
With a knick-knack paddywhack, give a dog a bone
This old man came rolling home

etc...

Seems to me that this is a song about drunken sexual abuse of a minor. :Q

Did your favorite uncle sing you this song a lot?

It's a childrens rhyme. You were looking for some hidden meaning in a song sung to toddlers?

Most nursery rhymes have hidden meaning. London bridge is a pretty dark and twisted one IIRC, something about the plague. Maybe I'm wrong.

It's actually a really clever essay on societal mores as they pertain to the attainability of the upper stratii of the class structure for the common man, with an underlying comment on the socioeconomic ramifications of the introduction of the steam engine.
