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',
And put it in the oven for baby and me.
Pat a cake, pat a cake, baker's man,
Bake me a cake as fast as you can,
Mix it and roll it and mark it with 'B',
And put it in the oven for baby and me.
Pat a cake, pat a cake, baker's man,
Bake me a cake as fast as you can,
Slice the cake up, ready for our tea
What a lovely treat for baby and me.
Top tip!
Pat your palms together or on your legs to the beat of the song. See if your baby will clap along with you and praise them if they do.
