Pat a Cake Lyrics

Pat-a-cake, pat-a-cake baker's man, 

Bake me a cake as fast as you can, 

Prick it and pat it and mark it with a "M",

And put it in the oven for Baby and me.

 

Make it with chocolate, make it with cream,  

Make it the prettiest you've ever seen. 

Pat-a-cake, pat-a-cake baker's man, 

Bake me a cake as fast as you can. 

 

Pat-a-cake, pat-a-cake baker's man 

Bake me a cake as fast as you can 

Mix it and stir it and bake it just right 

Good from the first 'till the very last bite 

 

Write his name with lots of care, 

And top with candies here and there, 

Pat-a-cake, pat-a-cake baker's man, 

Bake me a cake as fast as you can. 

Prick it and price it and mark it with a "M", 

And put it in the oven for Baby and me,

And put it in the oven for Baby and me, 

And put it in the oven for Baby and me.
