(Tune: Frere Jacques) Gingerbread, gingerbread,
Yum, yum, yum, Yum, yum, yum.
I like gingerbread, I like gingerbread,
In my tum, In my tum. Who stole the cookies from the cookie jar?
Who, me? Yes, you!
Couldn't be! Then who?
(child's name) stole the cookies from the cookie jar.
Who, me? Yes, you!
Couldn't be! Then who?
Note: Continue for as many children as you want Five little cookies With frosting galore.
(Child's Name) ate the red one, then there were four.
Four little cookies, Two and two you see
(Child's Name) ate the green one, then there were three.
Three little cookies But before I knew,
(Child's Name) ate the white one, then there were two.
Two little cookies, Oh what fun,
(Child's Name) ate the brown one, then there was one (Tune: One, Two Buckle My Shoe) Once there was a gingerbread man
Baking in a gingerbread pan
Raisin eyes and cherry nose
Trimmed right down
To his fingers and toes
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 and sugar and eggs
She gave him a face and two arms and two legs
A gingerbread man in a gingerbread pan

Now open the oven to see if he's done
This gingerbread boy, he know how to run
Out of the oven and onto the floor
Now run away out the kitchen door
The gingerbread man, he's out of the pan!

Now chase him old woman, now chase him old man
Chase him, yes chase him as fast as you can!
Through the garden and out the gate
Catch him right now, before it's too late
The gingerbread man, he's out of the pan!

Along came a cow who wanted a treat
And the gingerbread boy, he looked good to eat
Run, run, run, as fast as you can
You can't catch me, I'm the gingerbread man
I'm the gingerbread man and I'm out of the pan!
(Repeat verse for Dog, Goose, Turtle, and Hog)

Along came a fox who wanted a treat
And this gingerbread boy, he looked good to eat
Jump on my back, my gingerbread pet
And we'll cross the river, so you won't get wet
Mr. Gingerbread man, who's out of the pan.

There was no place to go, there was no place to run
And a ride on the river could be lots of fun!
So off with the fox did Gingerbread go
And what happened next, you already know
To the gingerbread man, who's out of the pan

That sly old fox had a DELICIOUS treat
And the old man and woman had nothing to eat
Not a bite was left for the cow or the dog,
The goose or the turtle or hungry old hog
There's no gingerbread man! There's no gingerbread man!

So let us go home and get out the pan
And we'll make ourselves a new gingerbread man!
And when he is eaten, we'll make us some more
But this time be certain to lock the back door!
A new gingerbread man, in a gingerbread pan! Everything Preschool >> Themes  >> Cookies and Gingerbread People >> Songs
