拍手歌的英文版本有多種，其中一種是《Pat-a-Cake》。歌詞如下：
Pat-a-cake, pat-a-cake, baker's man,
Bake me a cake as fast as you can;
Pat it and roll it, and mark it with a 「B」,
And put it in the oven for baby and me.
這首歌的基本意思是：糕點師傅（baker's man），給我來個pat-a-cake，要多快有多快喔，然後糕點師傅就開始做啦，又是拍打麵團(pat it),又是擀麵的(roll it)，之後還很貼心的在麵團上標上了一個字母B（mark it with a B），最後把麵團放進烤箱，寶寶和我就能吃啦。
