Gingerbread Man Song (Run, run as fast as you can!)
Gingerbread man Once upon a time A man and his wife Had no children Had an empty life So they made up a dough And rolled it flat Cut out a boy Just like that He had a big iced smile And a small button nose Jelly tot eyes And purple toes They Sprinkled him with sugar Dusted him with flour They put him in the oven For half an hour They opened the door and took him out He jumped right up And started to shout C Am F G Run, run, as fast as you can! C Am F G Run, run, as fast as you can! C Am F G Run, run, as fast as you can! C Am FYou can't catch me! G I'm the Gingerbread Man! He ran ran to a big old cow She licked her lips and mooed real loud "You look fine, good enough to eat" The gingerbread man didn't miss a beat I ran from the woman I ran from the man I'll run from you yes I can! C Am F G Run, run, as fast as you can! C Am F G Run, run, as fast as you can! C Am F G Run, run, as fast as you can! C Am FYou can't catch me! G I'm the Gingerbread Man! Running far away, he met a horse "I'll eat you up with a chocolate sauce" The gingerbread man he just smiled "Don't you know I'm the baker's child?" I ran from the woman I ran from the man I ran from the cow And this is how C Am F G Run, run, as fast as you can! C Am F G Run, run, as fast as you can! C Am F G Run, run, as fast as you can! C Am FYou can't catch me! G I'm the Gingerbread Man! The gingerbread man ran for miles All up and down the British isles till he came to a chicken who pecked at his nose Pecked at his feet and pecked at his toes I ran from the woman I ran from the man I ran from the cow And the horse of course C Am F G Run, run, as fast as you can! C Am F G Run, run, as fast as you can! C Am F G Run, run, as fast as you can! C Am FYou can't catch me! G I'm the Gingerbread Man! He stopped for a while at a signal box And out walked a sly old sneaky fox "Don't eat me," said the gingerbread man "I'd rather not, that's not my plan". So the gingerbread man took a little pause And the fox got closer and snapped his jaws The gingerbread man was gone in a bite The fox just smiled, "He tasted just right!" C Am F G Run, run, as fast as you can! C Am F G Run, run, as fast as you can! C Am F G Run, run, as fast as you can! C Am FYou can't catch me! G I'm the Gingerbread Man!
