"Here passed a little dove. This one caught it. This one killed it. This one put it on to roast. This one took it off again. And this teeny-teeny-teeny scamp ate it all up!"
Spanish patty-cakes are followed by a Spanish grace.
"Patty-cakes, oh! Patty-cakes, ah!
The sweetest cakes are for dear mama.
Patty-cakes, oh! Patty-cakes, ah!
The hardest pats are for poor papa,
"Bread, O God! Bread, dear God,
For this little child to-day!
Because he's such a baby
He cannot pay his way."
