Patty cake, patty cake, bakers man
Put it in the oven as fast as you can
Some like it hot
Some like it cold
I like it in the pot
Nine days old

Piece a-puddin' hot, piece a-puddin' cold
Piece a-puddin' in the pot nine days old

Didn't care much about goin' to school
It was all work and no play
But when I came home about half past three
I'd love to hear my mama say

I thought I had a steak all juicy and brown
I looked at my plate, here's all I found
I don't want ham, I don't want greens
There's only one dish that pops my seams

Mom said, "Son here's fifteen cents
Go watch the elephant jump the fence"
He jumped so high, he started to fly
He didn't get back till the Fourth of July

Grandpa said, I can't trust my eyes
It sure looks like one of Grandma's pies
Run there boy and fetch me some
If I pop my bridge, I'll use my gums
