Lyrics
Five crispy pancakes in a frying pan,
Flip them and toss them and catch them if you can.
Along came Garrett for a pancake one day.
Mom sprinkled it with sugar and he took it away.
Four crispy pancakes in a frying pan,
Flip them and toss them and catch them if you can.
Along came 'Nessa for a pancake one day.
Mom sprinkled it with sugar and she took it away.
Three crispy pancakes in a frying pan,
Flip them and toss them and catch them if you can.
Along came Eleanor for a pancake one day.
Mom sprinkled it with sugar and she took it away.
Two crispy pancakes in a frying pan,
Flip them and toss them and catch them if you can.
Along came Lainey for a pancake one day.
Mom sprinkled it with sugar and she took it away.
One crispy pancake in a frying pan,
Flip it and toss it and catch it if you can.
Along came Murphy for a pancake one day.
Mom sprinkled it with sugar and she took it away.
No more pancakes in the frying pan!
