Gingerbread, gingerbread,
gingerbread man,
have you heard the story of
the gingerbread man?
Gingerbread, gingerbread,
gingerbread man,
well this is the story of the
gingerbread man.
There was an old woman,
as lonely as could be,
she had no children of her own,
you see.
so one day she made a little
boy of gingerbread
with chocolate for his clothes
and a sugar -coated head.
She put him in the oven
and closed the door and thought,
now I shall have a little boy of my own.
But when it was time for the gingerbread boy to be done,
the old woman opened the oven
door
and the gingerbread gingerbread boy jumped out,
and away he ran.
Run, run, as fast as you can,
you can't catch me,
I'm the gingerbread man.
Run, run, fast as you can,
you can't catch him,
he's the gingerbread man.
The little old woman
called to her little old husband,
and he ran after the gingerbread boy.
Run, run, as fast as you can,
you can't catch me,
I'm the gingerbread man.
Run, run, fast as you can,
you can't catch him,
he's the gingerbread man.
He came to a cow
and the cow asked him to stop.
I've run away from a little old
woman.
I've run away from a little old man.
And I can run away from you, I can.
So run, run,
as fast as you can.
You can't catch me,
I'm the Gingerbread Man.
Run, run, fast as you can.
You can't catch him,
he's the Gingerbread Man.
He came to a horse
and the horse asked him to stop.
I've run away from a little old woman,
a little old man, and a cow.
And I can run away from you, I can,
so run, run as fast as you can,
you can't catch me,
I'm the gingerbread man.
Run, run, fast as you can,
you can't catch him,
he's the gingerbread man.
He came to a dog,
and the dog asked him to stop.
I've run away from a little old woman,
I've run away from a little old man,
and a cow, and a horse.
And I can run away from you, I can,
so run, run, as fast as you can,
you can't catch me,
I'm the gingerbread man.
Run, run, fast as you can,
you can't catch him,
he's the gingerbread man.
He came to a cat,
and the cat asked him to stop.
I've run away from a little old woman,
a little old man, and a cow,
and a horse, and a dog.
And I can run away from you, I can.
So run, run as fast as you can.
You can't catch me,
I'm the gingerbread man.
Run, run fast as you can.
You can't catch him,
he's the gingerbread man.
Run, run fast as you can.
You can't catch him,
he's the gingerbread man.
Run, run fast as you can.
You can't catch him,
he's the gingerbread man.
And for all we know,
the gingerbread man
is still running away.
Run, run, run, run, run,
Little Gingerbread Man.
