GINGERBREAD MAN catch me catch me If you can Catch me I am the gingerbread man the gingerbread man I’m the gingerbread man And you ain't gonna catch me Well the old lady mixed me up really up really nice Added molasses Added spice But I jumped from her oven Like a cat after mice I am the gingerbread man I ran past the farmer his doggies too No one in the village knew what to do So I made a little mischief But wouldn't you? "Yes" said the gingerbread man catch me catch me If you can Catch me I am the gingerbread man the gingerbread man I’m the gingerbread man And you ain't gonna catch me Well I came to a river, far and wide No way to get to the other side When the sly fox asked if I’d like a ride "Sure" said the gingerbread man ... The sly fox had a wild grin Asked If'n - I knew - how to swim Then he took a big bite and I fell right in - Uh oh! said the gingerbread man So the moral of the story For the faint of heart Nothin comes from boasting So don't you start Humility is the higher art Just ask the gingerbread man... catch me catch me If you can Catch me I am the gingerbread man the gingerbread man I’m the gingerbread man And you ain't gonna catch me

If red tastes like strawberry, blue taste like blueberry yellow tastes like, I dunno - and orange is just an orange well mix em all together and throw em in a blender then grab a straw for everyone - but save a little for me
