Gingerbread

Five Little Gingerbread Men

Five little gingerbread men lying on a tray,
One jumped up and ran away.
Shouting, "Catch me, catch me, catch me if you can...
I'm really quick, I'm a gingerbread man!"

--count down the numbers reapeating the stanza above--

No more gingerbread men lying on a tray,
They all jumped up and ran away.
Oh, how I wish they had stayed with me to play.
Next time I'll eat them before they run away.

I'm the Gingerbread Man

Chorus: Run, run as fast as you can!
Run, run as fast as you can!
Run, run as fast as you can!
You can't catch me,
I'm the Gingerbread Man!>/p>

I ran from the woman, yes I did.
I ran from the woman, yes I did.
I ran from the woman, yes I did.
Cause I'm the Gingerbread Man!

Chorus

--continue song by replacing "cow" with
man, cow, horse, sheep, dog, etc.

I ran from everyone, yes I did.
I ran from everyone, yes I did.
I ran from everyone, yes I did.
But I couldn't run from the fox...
CHOMP!

Gingerbread Boy
(to the tune of "Muffin Man")

Oh will you bake a gingerbread boy,
A gingerbread boy,
A gingerbread boy,
Oh will you bake a gingerbread boy,
Then put him in the oven.

Oh will you eat the gingerbread boy,
The gingerbread boy,
The gingerbread boy,
Oh will you eat the gingerbread boy,
Then take him out right now.

The Gingerbread Man Song
(to the tune of "Jimmy Crack Corn")

A baker took some gingerbread dough
And shaped a man from head to toe.
When it was baked, the cookie fled.
Here is what the cookie said:

Chorus: Run! Run! As fast as you can!
You can't catch me, I'm the gingerbread man!
I'm the gingerbread man!
Run! Run! As fast as you can!
I'm the gingerbread man!

The cooke man ran past a cow
Who said, "I want to eat you now!"
The cookie man just laughed and fled.
Here is what the cookie said:

Chorus

A farmer saw the man go by.
He chased him low, he chased him high
The cookie man just shook his head.
Here is what the cookie said:>/p>

Chorus

He finally reached the river wide,
A fox asked, "Would you like a ride?"
The cooke sat on the fox's head,
Here is what the sly fox said:
"You can't run! That's my plan!
I'm going to eat you, gingerbread man!
