Pat-A-Cake, Pat-A-Cake Lyrics

Pat-a-cake, pat-a-cake baker's man
Bake me a cake as fast as you can
Pat it and prick it and mark it with "B"
Put it in the oven for baby and me

For baby and me
For baby and me
And there will be plenty for baby and me

Pat-a-cake, pat-a-cake baker's man
Bake me a cake as fast as you can
Pat it and prick it and mark it with "B"
Put it in the oven for baby and me

For baby and me
For baby and me
And there will be plenty for baby and me
