LYRICS:

The Gingerbread Man

Once upon a time there was a Gingerbread

Man and his story goes like this;

One day a little old man and a little old lady made a Gingerbread Man together.

Soon they opened the oven door

Pop! Out ran the Gingerbread Man

And the little old lady said, “Gingerbread Man, stop, you look so good, we want to eat you up!”

Chorus: Run, run as fast as you can

You can’t catch me

I’m the Gingerbread Man

(Repeat Chorus)

Soon the Gingerbread Man was skipping through the woods,

Skip, skip, skip to my Lou

Skip, skip, skip to my Lou

And he met a cow

And the cow went, “Gingerbread Man, stop, you look so good,

I want to eat you up!”

(Repeat Chorus 2x)

Farther down the country road, the Gingerbread Man was hopping along

Hop, hop, hop, hop, hop

Hop, hop, hop

And he met a horse

And the horse went, “Gingerbread Man, stop, you look so good, I want to eat you up!”

(Repeat Chorus 2x)

At last the Gingerbread Man met a fox,

A sly, old fox, grinning and licking his lips

And the fox said; “Hey little gingerbread dude, stop, I want to talk you.”

The Gingerbread Man kept running and the fox chased after him

“Oh no, a river”

The Gingerbread Man didn’t know what to do

“Hey, little dude, I’ll help you, just jump on my tail. I’ll take you across the river, no problemo.”

Swim, swim, swim,

I love to swim

“But dude, for the most awesome ride jump on my nose. That’s it, Gingerbread Man. That’s just right!”

That sly, old fox got to the other side of the river and tossed the little Gingerbread Man in the air

Snip, snap!

(Repeat Chorus 2x)
