lyrics

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
