Book: Pete’s a Pizza by William Steig
Song: (Tune: “Shortnin’ Bread”)
I can make a pizza! You can, too!
Listen and you’ll know just what to do.
Every little baker loves mixing, mixing
Every little baker loves mixing dough!
Chorus: Flour to the left, flour to the right
Now tie your apron nice and tight
Every little baker loves kneading, kneading
Every little baker loves kneading dough!
Every little baker loves tossing, tossing
Every little baker loves tossing dough!

Song: “If You Wanna Eat Some Pizza”
If you want to eat some pizza, clap your hands!
If you want to eat some pizza, clap your hands!
If you like bubbly cheese then just say, “Pizza please!”
If you want to eat some pizza, clap your hands!
