Once there was a gingerbread man,
Baking in a gingerbread pan,
Raisin eyes and cherry lips,
Trimmed right down to his finger tips.
A gingerbread man in a gingerbread pan.
Here’s the old woman who made him so sweet,
A treat for her and her husband to eat.
She made him with flour, sugar, and eggs,
She gave him a face, two arms, and two legs.
A gingerbread man in a gingerbread pan.
She opened the oven to see if he was done.
But, this gingerbread man, he knew how to run!
Out of the oven and onto the floor,
He ran right out the kitchen door.
The gingerbread man, he’s out of the pan!
Now chase him old woman, chase him old man,
Yes chase him as fast, as fast as you can.
Through the garden and out the gate,
Catch him right now, before its too late.
The gingerbread man, who’s out of the pan!
Along came a cow who wanted a treat,
And the gingerbread man, he looked good to eat.
Run, run, run, as fast as you can,
You can’t catch him, he’s the gingerbread man.
The gingerbread man, who’s out of the pan.
Along came a horse who wanted a treat,
And the gingerbread man, he looked good to eat.
Run, run, run, as fast as you can,
You can’t catch him, he’s the gingerbread man.
The gingerbread man, who’s out of the pan.
Then along came a fox who wanted a treat,
And this gingerbread man looked so good to eat.
"Jump on my back," said the fox when they met,
“We’ll cross the river, and you won’t get wet.
The gingerbread man who’s out of the pan.
And a ride on the river could be lots of fun!
So off with the fox he did go,
And what happened next, you already know.
To the gingerbread man who’s out of the pan.
That sly old fox had a de-licious treat,
And the old man and old woman had nothing to eat.
Not a bite was left for all the animals too.
Not one for me or one for you.
There’s no gingerbread man left in the pan!
So let us go home and get out our pan.
And we’ll make ourselves a new gingerbread man!
And when he is eaten, we’ll make some more.
But this time be certain to lock the back door.
A new gingerbread man in a gingerbread pan!

Gingerbread Man Song Lyrics
I'm just a gingerbread man
Living in a gingerbread land
Doesn't matter what I feel
Doesn't matter what you feel
Doesn't matter what I say
Doesn't matter anyway
Am I only enamel?
Am I really edible?
Am I really good enough?
Can I ever be known?
I'm just a gingerbread man
Living in a gingerbread land
Doesn't matter what you say
Who will be the first
To eat apart of me away?
Doesn't matter what I say
Doesn't matter anyway
Am I ever good enough
Am I ever good enough to eat?
Am I sweet?
Am I sweet enough to eat?
I'm just a gingerbread man
Living in a gingerbread land
Doesn't matter what I say
Doesn't matter anyway
Doesn't matter what you feel
Everything here isn't real
Send me chocolates, send me sweets
Funny how they package me
Will they give me a frown?
Someone to hang around
Doesn't matter anyway
I'm just a gingerbread man
Living in a gingerbread land
Doesn't matter what I say
Who will be the first
To eat apart of me away?
- U.P.O.
Oh, do you know the Gingerbread Man?
Who ran and ran and ran?
He said, "Catch me if you can,
Then ran and ran and ran.
ROMANTIC
