Pop a Little Pancake lyrics

Pop a little pancake into the pan.

Pop a little pancake into the pan.

Pop a little pancake into the pan.

That’s for my dinner today.

Shake a little sugar with a shake, shake, shake!

Shake a little sugar with a shake, shake, shake!

Shake a little sugar with a shake, shake, shake!

That’s for my dinner today.

Squeeze a little lemon with a squeeze, squeeze, squeeze!

Squeeze a little lemon with a squeeze, squeeze, squeeze!

Squeeze a little lemon with a squeeze, squeeze, squeeze!

That’s for my dinner today.

Toss a little pancake up in the air!

Toss a little pancake up in the air!

Toss a little pancake up in the air!

That’s for my dinner today.

Eat it all up with a yum, yum, yum!

Eat it all up with a yum, yum, yum!

Eat it all up with a yum, yum, yum!

That’s for my dinner today.
