2) Gingerbread Man
m.litton

Put the gingerbread in your pan
Bake it in your oven, baby, fast as you can
Turn it on, get it hot, I’ll jump out before I am caught
Gonna roll- roll, I’m a gingerbread man
Gonna roll- roll, I’m a gingerbread man

Aw chew-chew-chew, cha-cha-cha
Your meat’s so sweet, girl you’ve got
The kind of move that drives me loco
I’ll stay with you tonight then it’s hasta luego
Gonna roll- roll, I’m a gingerbread man
Gonna roll- roll, I’m a gingerbread man

Bridge (1): They knock-knock at my door
Get one taste then they want one more
But you can run as fast as you can
You’ll not catch me, I’m a gingerbread man
You’ll not catch me, I’m a gingerbread man
Gonna roll- roll, I’m a gingerbread man
Gonna roll- roll, I’m a gingerbread man

I come to a river, water wide
A foxy little lady offered me a ride
Her rosebud lips, pearly white teeth
She said she was hungry just for me
She said, “Climb on little gingerbread man”
She said, “Climb on me little gingerbread man”

Bridge (2): Now I thought I should say no to her
But I liked the feel of her soft warm fur
And when we made the opposite shore
The gingerbread man he was no more
Little gingerbread man he was no more
She said, “Climb on little gingerbread man”
She said, “Climb on me little gingerbread man”

Now the candy man and salty dog
They was my daddy and my ol’ grandpa
But the taste has changed like the lady said
She don’t want no candy, she wants gingerbread
She said, “Climb on little gingerbread man”
She said, “Climb on me little gingerbread man”
