Gingerbread Man

(Album: 1st Congregational Church Of Eternal Love And Free Hugs - 2022)

There's bread in the oven, a pot on the stove
I'm feeling the heat from my head to my toes
I call for my Mama, who put me in here
Release me from darkness, I'm getting the fear

I'm loose and running free
Through the door and down the street
Into the great unknown
This candyman has flown
Better run!

Run run run just as fast as you can
You won't catch me I'm the gingerbread man
Run run run just as fast as you can
You won't catch me I'm the gingerbread man

I waved to the farmer, saluted the cow
Rock a bye baby, asleep on the bough
I outrun the piggies, I outrun the sheep
Hansel and Gretel and Little Bo Peep

I'm loose and running free
Up the hill, down to the sea
Into the great unknown
This candyman has flown
Better run!

Run run run just as fast as you can
You won't catch me I'm the gingerbread man
Run run run just as fast as you can
You won't catch me I'm the gingerbread man

Beware old Foxey!
Beware the Wolf!
Beware my little pigs
He's up on the roof!

Beware, beware, beware, beware
Beware, beware, beware, beware
Better run!

Run run run just as fast as you can
You won't catch me I'm the gingerbread man
Run run run just as fast as you can
You won't catch me I'm the gingerbread man
