The Gingerbread Man Listen here!
a
Run, run, run as fast as you can.
E a
You’ll never catch me, I’m the gingerbread man.
a
I ran from the baker and his wife too.
E a
You’ll never catch me, not any of you.
E7 a
The baker made a boy one day
E7 a
Who leapt from the oven ready to play.
E7 a
He and his wife were ready to eat
E7 a
The gingerbread man who had run down the street.
a
Run, run, run as fast as you can,
E a
You’ll never catch me, I’m the gingerbread man.
a
I ran from the baker and his wife too.
E a
You’ll never catch me, not any of you.
E7
Then came a pig and cow and hare
a
Who joined in the chase around the square.
E7
They were all hungry and ready to eat,
a
But that gingerbread man was too quick on his feet.
a
Run, run, run as fast as you can,
E a
You’ll never catch me, I’m the gingerbread man
a
I ran from the baker and his wife too
E7 a
You’ll never catch me, not any of you
E7 a
He came to a pond that blocked his path
E7 a
And gingerbread men don’t like to bath.
E7 a
Out jumped a fox who said, “hop on,
E7 a
I will take you safely across the pond."
a
Run, run, run as fast as you can.
E a
You’ll never catch me, I’m the gingerbread man.
a
I ran from the baker and his wife too.
E a
You’ll never catch me, not any of you.
E7
He climbed up onto the fox’s back,
a
Who licked his lips and wanted to snack.
E7
He climbed onto the fox’s head,
a
Who loved the taste of gingerbread.
a
Run, run, run as fast as you can.
E a
You’ll never catch me I’m the gingerbread man.
a
He trusted the fox to help his plan
E a
And that was the end of the gingerbread man.
