Five Cup Cakes Lyrics

Five cup cakes in the baker's shop
Round and fat with a lolly on the top
Along came with a dollar one day
Bought a cup cake and ate it right away!

Four cup cakes in the baker's shop
Round and fat with a lolly on the top
Along came with a dollar one day
Bought a cup cake and ate it right away!

Three cup cakes in the baker's shop
Round and fat with a lolly on the top
Along came with a dollar one day
Bought a cup cake and ate it right away!

Two cup cakes in the baker's shop
Round and fat with a lolly on the top
Along came with a dollar one day
Bought a cup cake and ate it right away!

One cup cake in the baker's shop
Round and fat with a lolly on the top
Along came with a dollar one day
Bought a cup cake and ate it right away!

No cup cakes in the baker's shop,
Nothing round and fat with a lolly on the top
"Oh dear!" said the baker with the empty tray
"I'll have to make some more" and she did it right away!
