A German children song:

Backe, backe, Kuchen,
der Bäcker hat gerufen.
Wer will guten Kuchen backen,
der muss haben sieben Schen:
Eier und Schmalz,
Butter und Salz,
Eier und Mehl,
Safran macht den Kuchen geel. [dialect for gelb]
Schieb, schieb in Ofen rein.

Tune: g a g e, last line: a g e d c c.

Translation:
Bake, bake, cake,
the baker has called.
Who wants to make good cake
must have seven things:
eggs and lard,
butter and salt,
milk and flour,
saffron makes the cake yellow.
Shove, shove in oven.
