Age is no hindrance to this old man, a traditional song illustrated by Sylvia Ion. He frenetically dances his way through this traditional counting song -- knick-knacking and paddy-whacking his way through all ten verses. In contrast, the lazy dog opens a slit of an eye only because it is too difficult to sleep through this raucous activity. "...He played knick knack up to heaven..." The lazy dog says, "Heaven can wait!"
