The sheet music:
Accompaniment:
Lyrics
- If you will but be mine
Bakers man, baker man
What then if I’ll be thine Patty cake
We’ll bask in windless breezes
When a sunbeam never freezes
And a toothache always pleases
Bakers man, Baker man
Where a June bug never sneezes patti cake
Refrain
Patty cake Patty cake
Bakers man Try dear to love one
I’ll will if I can
Blisses and kisses we’ll mix in our pan
Patty cake Patty cake
Bakers man The world shall be our pudding
Served ala carte for two
Will even dim in splendor fine
The cloth twist menu
Our eggs too will be gratin
Fried in crystal dew
We’ll mix it up and pat it up
And mark it with a T
Then we’ll toss it in the oven
Just for you and me
- If you will but be true
Patty cake Patty cake
What then if I’ll be thine Bakers man
We’ll find where paradise is
And we’ll revel in its spices
With desserts of glowing ices
Patty cake Patty cake
This so nice is, it entices Baker man
