Gingerbread Man
Run, run, as fast as you can,
You can't catch me,
I'm the Gingerbread Man!
Gingerbread Baking
Stir a bowl of gingerbread,
Smooth and spicy brown.
Roll it with a rolling pin,
Up and up and down.
With a cookie cutter,
Make some little men.
Put them in the oven
Till half past ten!
Gingerkids (Tune: Ten Little Indians)
One little, two little, three little Gingerkids,
Four little, five little, six little Gingerkids,
Seven little, eight little, nine little Gingerkids,
Ten little Gingerbread Kids.
Eat, Eat, Your Gingerbread Boy (Tune: Row, Row, Row, Your Boat)
Eat, eat, your Gingerbread Boy,
Before he runs away.
Faster, faster, faster please,
Don't let him get away!
Catch, catch the Gingerbread Boy,
Catch him, yes, today.
Faster, faster, faster still,
For he has run away.
