pacy, pacy, pacičky (hands, hands, little hands).
The Czech equivalent of “Pat a cake, pat a cake, baker's man”, its rhyming text goes “Hands, hands, little hands; Daddy bought a pair of shoes; Mommy a belt made from cat’s tail.”
This blog is a companion to my book From Good King Wenceslas to the Good Soldier Svejk: A Dictionary of Czech Popular Culture.
