lyrics

wake up so early in the morning when the night is cold
the air is dry, the air is bold
deliver your feet to the road and your face to the sky
the stars are flour, the flour is fine

sweep it down in to the bowl, you're gonna bake it
salt it later, all in good time

now go to the lake and wait till the sun is up
and when the water is bright, fill your cup
fill it up full and add it to the bowl of flour
let it rise many hour

you will know it is ready when the dough is
high, now you knead it, all in good time
remember to salt it and
knead it slowly, or the bread is gonna show it
now you knead it, all in good time
oh baker knead it down and make us something to eat

all the moments in the past lead up to the one just last
there is nothing new under the sun
and likewise, nothing ever is old

take it to the oven and set it on the heated stone
the flour is seed, the seed is sewn

you will know it is ready when the dough is
singing like a starling, all in good time
now you feel it, are you ever gonna eat it?
now you eat it, all in good time
oh baker knead it down and make us something to eat
all in good time
