Gingerbread
Man Rap/Song
sing to: "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:
Run! Run! As
fast as you can!
You can't catch
me, I'm the Gingerbread Man!
Run! Run! As
fast as you can!
I'm the little
Gingerbread Man!
The cookie 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:
Run! Run! As
fast as you can!
You can't catch
me, I'm the Gingerbread Man!
Run! Run! As
fast as you can!
I'm the little
Gingerbread Man!
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:
Run! Run! As
fast as you can!
You can't catch
me, I'm the Gingerbread Man!
Run! Run! As
fast as you can!
I'm the little
Gingerbread Man!
He finally reached
the river wide,
A fox asked,
"Would you like a ride?"
The cookie sat
on the fox's head,
Here is waht
the sly fox said:
"You can't
run! That's my plan!
I'm going to
eat you, Gingerbread Man!
You can't run!
That's my plan!"
And he ate the
gingerbread man!
