5 Little gingerbread men on the tray,
(place 5 fingers of one hand onto the open palm of the other hand--the
tray.)
One jumped up and ran away.
("run" one finger away)
Catch me, Oh catch me, Oh catch me if you can!
I'm pretty fast, I am the gingerbread man!

Catch me, Oh catch me, Oh catch me if you can!
I'm pretty fast, I am the gingerbread man!
Continue to zero...
No little gingerbread men on the tray
I will have to bake more on another day!

Stir a bowl of gingerbread (stir as in a bowl)
Smooth and spicy brown
Roll it with a rolling pin (roll as if with a rolling pin)
Up and up and down
With a cookie cutter (pretend to cut cookie)
Make some little men.
Put them in the oven (put pan in the oven)
Until half past ten.

I'm a little gingerbread boy. (Boys bow.)
I'm a little gingerbread girl. (Girls bow.)
I can jump, (All jump.)
And I can twirl. (All turn around.)
I have raisins (Point to eyes.)
For my eyes,
And bright red buttons (Point to buttons down chest.)
Just this size.
I have a mouth,
It looks like this. (Point to smiling mouth.)
I can even
Blow a kiss. (Blow a kiss.)
I'm warm and tasty,
But don't eat me. (Shake head.)
Hang me on
Your Christmas tree! (Put hands over head.)

Eat, eat, your Gingerbread Boy,
Before he runs away.
Faster, faster, faster please,
Don't let him get away!
Catch, catch the Gingerbread Boy,
Catch him, yes, today.
Faster, faster, faster still,
For he has run away.
Say bye-bye to the
Gingerbread Boy.
Say good-bye today.
Say so long for he is gone.
The fox ate him today.

The gingerbread man ran through the town,
Through the town, through the town.
The gingerbread man ran through the town,
Singing, "You'll never catch me."
He ran away from a cow,
cow, cow
He ran away from a cow,
Singing, "You will never catch me."
He ran away from a sheep,
sheep, sheep
He ran away from a sheep without a peep,
Singing, "You will never catch me."
He ran away from a dog,
dog, dog
He ran away from a dog,
Singing, "You will never catch me."
Then he came to a fox,
fox, fox
The fox sat on a box and said,
"You can trust me"
Then he ate him, yes sir - ee.

Oh, do you know the Gingerbread Man,
Gingerbread Man, Gingerbread Man?
Oh, do you know the Gingerbread Man,
Who ran and ran and ran?
He said, "Catch me if you can,
If you can, if you can."
He said, "Catch me if you can,"
Then ran and ran and ran.
I can run like the Gingerbread Man.
Gingerbread Man, Gingerbread Man.
I can run like the Gingerbread Man,
Now catch me if you can.

Five little gingerbread men in a row (Hold up five fingers, waving
back & forth)
Not gonna' eat one no, no, no. (shake finger and head side to side)
But they look so sweet from head to toe (hand binoculars at eyes
touch head then toes)
Crunch, munch...uh oh! (slap thighs on crunch, clap hands on munch,
then put hands over mouth on uh oh)
Continue until...
No little gingerbread men in a row

But they looked so sweet that it's sad to tell (binoculars on sweet,

index fingers run down cheeks to represent tears on sad)
Crunch.. munch... oh well! (slap thighs once, clap once, then throw
hands up
and shrug shoulders)

Watch
me run, watch me run
All around the room.
I'm the little Gingerbread Kid.
See me zoom, zoom, zoom,
Running here, running there,
Running fast and slow.
I'm the little Gingerbread Kid.
See how I can go!
