[spoken word, sweet giggly female voice] Sure! Show me how! [Intro] (...) [Instrumental with classic joyful off-beat bounce bass] [bass note is punchy, slightly rubbery, and pitch-bent] (...) (---) (...) [Hook] [female vocal lead, sweet and playful, deep male ad-libs answering in parentheses, minimal beat] Patty cake, patty cake, baker's man (yeah!) (Bake me a cake as fast as you can!) Patty cake, patty cake, baker's man (uh-huh!) (Bake me a cake as fast as you can!) Pat it and prick it and mark it with a "B" And put it in the oven for baby and me! [Build] [rising synth arp, filter sweep up, snare roll] [Verse 1] [deep male voice, half-spoken, campy, bouncy offbeat bassline underneath] You're in my hands, and I'm gonna take you there [bright female vocal] So put your body in motion! You feel it now..? [bright female vocal] Just keep it up, Baker man! Don't stop that rhythm, baby! [bright female vocal] I got a notion that we should make it all the way! So preheat, baby, turn it high We're warming up now. [bright female vocal] Don't stop the rhythm, baby, all the way! [Pre-Chorus] [deep male voice, half-spoken, female ad-libs answering in parentheses, filter riser, four-count synth stabs] I wanna be your daddy Come on and call me "Daddy!" (Put a baby in my oven!) I wanna be your daddy (Put a baby in my oven!) [Chorus] [female vocal lead, bright, full eurodance energy, deep male ad-libs in parentheses, four-on-the-floor kick drops, bouncy offbeat synth bass, brass stabs] Patty cake, patty cake, baker's man (yeah!) (Bake me a cake as fast as you can!) Patty cake, patty cake, baker's man (come on!) (Bake me a cake as fast as you can!) Pat it and prick it and mark it with a "B" And put it in the oven for baby and me! (...) (---) (...) [Breakdown] [strip to kick and light percussion, spoken] [deep male voice, spoken word, low] Ooh yeah... the batter's getting warm... [female voice, spoken word, teasing] Then turn the oven up, baker man! [Verse 2] [deep male voice, half-spoken, campy, bouncy offbeat bassline underneath] Brace yourself, girl, it's time to mix it up [bright female vocal] Sugar and spice and all things nice! Now add the cream and stir it [bright female vocal] That's enough Mix it good and well, baby! [bright female vocal] The pan is hot and greasy, we're ready now to pour!
