The Gingerbread Man

from Uku​-​A​-​Doodle by Ross Mayhew

/

lyrics

the baker made a boy one day
who leapt from the oven ready to play
he and his wife were ready to eat
the gingerbread man who had run down the street
run, run, run as fast as you can
you’ll never catch me, I’m the gingerbread man
i ran from the baker and his wife too
you’ll never catch me, not any of you

then came a pig, a cow and a hare
who joined in the chase around the square
yhey were all hungry and ready to eat
the gingerbread man was too quick on his feet
run, run, run as fast as you can
you’ll never catch me, I’m the gingerbread man
i ran from the baker and his wife too
you’ll never catch me, not any of you

he came to a pond that blocked his path
and gingerbread men don’t like to bath
out jumped a fox who said, “hop on
i'll take you safely across the pond
run, run, run as fast as you can
you’ll never catch me, I’m the gingerbread man
i ran from the baker and his wife too
you’ll never catch me, not any of you

he climbed up onto the fox’s back
who licked his lips and was ready to snack
he climbed onto the fox’s head
who loved the taste of gingerbread
run, run, run as fast as you can
you’ll never catch me I’m the gingerbread man
he trusted the fox to help his plan
and that was the end of the gingerbread man
