Little old woman
Baked me well,
With my black currant
eyes
I can see just swell.
Jumped from the oven
Fled out the door,
Found the freedom
Been looking for!
Run, run as fast as you can
You can’t catch me
I’m the gingerbread man
Run, run as fast as you can
You can’t catch me
I’m the gingerbread man
Hi” said pig
You look scrummy
But off I ran
‘Cos. I’m not yummy
“Hi” said cow
You’re delicious
“No” said I but
You’re malicious!
Run, run as fast as you can
You can’t catch me
I’m the gingerbread man
Run, run as fast as you can
You can’t catch me
I’m the gingerbread man
“Hi” said horse
You’re good to taste
“Oh no” said I and
Ran off in haste
Then met a fox
Who said he’d help me
Makes a change
So accepted gracefully
Run, run as fast as you can
You can’t catch me
I’m the gingerbread man
Run, run as fast as you can
You can’t catch me
I’m the gingerbread man
“Hop on my tail
I’ll give you a ride”
“O k” I said
‘Cos I was tired
“Hop on my nose
You won’t get wet”
“O k” I said
Tired –you bet!
Run, run as fast as you can
You can’t catch me
I’m the gingerbread man
Run, run as fast as you can
You can’t catch me
I’m the gingerbread man
Fox gave a shake
And sad to tell
I fell in his mouth
Now I don’t feel well!
I’m fast with the legs
No one catches me
When it comes to the
brains
I’m a bit dippy!
Run, run as fast as you can
You can’t catch me
I’m the gingerbread man
Run, run as fast as you can
You can’t catch me
I’m the gingerbread man
