The second-earliest known printed version of the nursery rhyme "Patty Cake, Patty Cake, Baker's Man" appeared in Mother Goose's Melody (c. 1760, sometimes dated 1765). The version in this book is as follows:

Patty Cake, Patty Cake,
Baker's Man;
That I will Master,
As fast as I can;
Prick it and prick it,
And mark it with a T,
And there will be enough for Tommy and me.
