I heard a song back in the eighties, sung by two folkie guys:

Something about


You do the bakin' and I'll do the makin'
How our lives will rise
Yes! You do the bakin' and I'll do the makin'
Spinning and singing together our lives away...

and there was a verse about

Once in a dream lived a maiden of (something that rhymes with in)
She sat by the fire and all day she would spin
And there by her window early in the spring
I would sit back and to her I'd sing
Oh yeah! to her I would sing...



I was thinking of this song as a candidate for really bad songs thread, but anyway I won't be able to get it out of my head 'til I know the whole deal, and who the perpetrators were, so HELP!

It was in the 70's, if I am not wrong, sorry.

And the words were....also if I am not wrong.....

You do the bakin' and I'll do the makin'
How our lives will RHYME
Yes! You do the bakin' and I'll do the makin'
Spinning and singing together our lives away...

Once in a dream lived a maiden of WIND
She LIVED IN HER ROOM and all day she would spin
And there by her window early in the spring
I would sit back and to her I'd sing
Oh yeah! to her I would sing...

And it took me a while, but luckily I remembered some of their other songs and tracked them down that way....

Aztec TwoStep was the duo's name.

Allmusic.com says Aztec Two-Step consisted of Rex Fowler and Neal Shulman. Rex Fowler wrote a song called BAKING which appeared on their first album "Aztec Two-Step" (1972) and on "See, It Was Like This" (1989).

I found a sound sample which revealed only this correction:

"Spinning and singing together our TIME away"
