Patty cake lyrics: help

[Eva]

I have been starting to play patty cake with my DD and for the life of me, I can't remember part of the song. Silly question I know but I don't want my child think that "blah" are the words. :lol:

Please fill in the blanks:
Patty cake, patty cake bakers man
Bake me a cake as fast as you can.
___ it and ____ it and mark it with "B"
Put it in the oven for baby and me.

Thanks for your help. :)

[Eleanor]

I think there are more than one version...but the one we use is "roll it and pat it"

[harmonielyn]

Ive never heard it like that before. :lol:

Patty cake, patty cake bakers man
Bake me a cake as fast as you can.
roll it up,roll it up (rolling hands)
and put it in the pan (tickling baby's belly)

dont ask. :lol: Ive never thought about this but its the version I know.

[Eva]

Thanks for your help:)

I think the roll it and pat it is the one I knew as a child.

[TtownAnne]

We did the "pat it, and prick it...." version

[happysmileylady]

We always did roll it and pat it.

[magoo]

First off, I know it as pat-a-cake. And the blanks according to my family are roll it and peek it. :dunno:

[Nocona]

My friend says the one you do and she says "roll it and pat it and mark it with a B"

I've always said "roll it up, roll it up and stick it in the pan". Rolling his arms and then tickling him. That's the way my mom always did it :)

[Karri]

we call it pat-a-cake and say "roll it, and pat it..."

[Barb]

We say "roll it, pat it".

[Brooke]

We say "pit it and pat it and mark it with a B"

DH says "Rrrrrroooooollllllll it, and mark it with a B"

[Jillian]

We say "roll it, pat it".
Us to.

[Barb]

Am I the only one who customizes it? I always say "mark it with an L for Liam and me"?

[KimInCanada]

Roll it, Pat it and mark it with a "T" (in my case for Troy) LOL

[Lette]

Am I the only one who customizes it? I always say "mark it with an L for Liam and me"?
Nope.. we have to do it four ways due to my daughter's pleads..


Mark it with a B .... for Benjy and ME
Mark it with an L ... for Lexie and ME
M for Mommy
D for Daddy.

When we finish one, Lexie will say, "Do Benjy!" or "Do Daddy!" :lol:

[Brandi]

WE say the opposite "pat it and roll it"

We also say "mark it with a C - for Carter and Me(or mommy)

I've heard "pat it and prick it" and others too.

[Brooke]

I don't customize it because using "R" just sounds funny because it doesn't rhyme with "me".

[bunybomb]

Patty cake, patty cake bakers man
Bake me a cake as fast as you can.
roll it up,roll it up (rolling hands)
and put it in the pan (tickling baby's belly)

:lol: This is how my hubby does it and I thought he made it up.

I "roll it" and "pat it" and mark it with an "A"!

[Katrina]

We use "roll it up! Roll it up! Put it in the pan!"

[TxTeacher]

I can't even remember how I said it; I guess my mom didn't use that nursery rhyme with us very often. :dunno: I know I've never used that particular rhyme with the young children I work with.

I found a site that has the words and even some coloring pages, if anyone's interested:
http://www.first-school.ws/activities/nrhymes/patacake.htm (http://www.first-school.ws/activities/nrhymes/patacake.htm)

(BTW: on this site, they use the version "And pat it, and prick it".)

[Shanna]

Patty Cake
Patty Cake
Bakers Man
Bake me a cake
as fast as you can
pat it and pat it
and roll it and roll it
and toss it in the pan!

Thats the way we say it :nod:

[ChristiH]

here at my house we say "roll it up, roll it up and throw it the pan"

[Bev]

Pat it (pat him all over) and prick it (poke him all over)
and Mark it with an M
and throw (throwing up hands) it in the oven for Mason and Me!

Thanks Lisa, checking out that site now, I bet it has some other interesting things too!

[Nichole]

I say pat it and prick it
and mark it with a "J"
and put it in the oven for Jackson and me!

[Cat]

We did the "pat it, and prick it...." version
we do too :)

[TheAMan]

I'm just some random guy who needs to know the lyrics and hand motions for Patty Cake for a play. Can anybody assist me in this?

[tuesdayswife]

I always used to say "patty cake" too but in these goofy Minnesota parts they say "pat a cake".

I can't remember the rest...

[Eleanor]

I think there are several versions-

The one I know

Pat-a-cake, pat-a-cake, baker's man
Bake me a cake as fast as you can ( done clapping your hands together, and clapping alternating hands of the person you're doing it with)
Roll it (rolling motion) and pat it (pat hands on top of each other)
And mark it with B (draw a B in the air)
And throw it (throwing motion) in the oven for baby and me.

[LISA]

Am I the only one who customizes it? I always say "mark it with an L for Liam and me"?

Nope, we did the same.. it's roll and bake here too :)

[Amy]

We do "pat it and roll it and mark it with an E (or M)" and put it in the oven for "Emily and me" or "Molly and me". DH just does their names, leaving off "and me".

[TheAMan]

Ok thanks people

[Karri]

I always used to say "patty cake" too but in these goofy Minnesota parts they say "pat a cake".

I am not in MN, but they say it that way b/c that is the right way :awink:
You're telling the baker's man to pat you a cake. saying "patty cake" doesnt make sense. KWIM?

I think there are several versions-

The one I know

Pat-a-cake, pat-a-cake, baker's man
Bake me a cake as fast as you can ( done clapping your hands together, and clapping alternating hands of the person you're doing it with)
Roll it (rolling motion) and pat it (pat hands on top of each other)
And mark it with B (draw a B in the air)
And throw it (throwing motion) in the oven for baby and me.

This is pretty much the way we do it, too, except the part in red is:
put it (poke baby in belly)
And I usually customize w/ my kids' initials.
