There once was a gingerbread man
Fresh from the oven pan
With a head for thinking
And eyes for blinking
And a clever little plan
To run far, far away
From all who wanted a bite
Like the pig and the horse and the cow of course
He dashed out of sight
With chocolate eyes and a frosting nose
A hint of spice from head to toe
A smile so sweet
A treat so grand
Just one bite and you'd understand
The Gingerbread Man
The Gingerbread Man
Fastest cookie in all the land
Run, run, run as fast as you can
You can't catch him
He's the Gingerbread Man
He came to a river wide
No bridge to cross or hide
A fox said hop on
My back is strong
I'll take you for a ride
But nearing the other side
The fox tried to eat his prey
With arms that swung
And legs that sprung
The gingerbread dashed away
With chocolate eyes, a frosting nose
A hint of spice from head to toe
A smile so sweet
A treat so grand
Just one bite and you'd understand
Oh, the Gingerbread Man
The Gingerbread Man
Fastest cookie in all the land
Run, run, run as fast as you can
You can't catch him
He's the Gingerbread Man
The Gingerbread Man
Fastest cookie in all the land
Run, run, run as fast as you can
You can't catch him
He's the Gingerbread Man
