[Verse 1]
[C]Story
Time!
The
Gingerbread
Man
[D]Once [C]upon a time, there was a lady who lived in
[Am]a little [C]white cottage [Am]in the countryside.
[G]Thi[C]s l[D]ady[C] really[G][Bm]
[G]liked to bak[Am]e cookies.
[C]Today I'll bake something
extra nice!
Something with [G]flour, [C]sugar, and spice!
So she got out her red mixing bowl
and her big wooden [Bm]spoon [C]and…
[G]Oh,[Bm] can [G]I stir?
Reggie, it's just a story.
Oh, sorry,
Zach.
[C]I forgot.
[D]She [C]mixed up the [D]dough [C]until
it [G]was [C]just [G]right.[C][G][C]
Then she rolled it out with
a rolling [G]pin.[Am]
[C]This dough is so flat,
and it's soft like butter.
I think it's [G]time [C]for my cookie cutter[G].
[C]She cut out a perfect
gingerbread man shape,
[G]Then [C]bak[G]ed it in the[Am] oven the house was[C] filled
with the delicious aroma of [G]gingerbread
In a [C]few minutes [D]the[C] cookie was done,
let's get you [G]dressed[Am][C]
[Am]She [C]gave the cookie candy eyes chocolate
buttons [G]and [C]a bowtie made of icing
[G]Look at [C]the cookie. I've
got on my pan.
[G]What [C]shall I [G]call him gingerbread [C]man?[G]
[C]Gingerbre[D]ad
Man, [C]you're good [D]enough to [C]eat.
I'll work my way [G]up,
start[C]ing [G]with your feet.
All of [C]a sudden, the
Gingerbread
Man jumped off the pan.
And before the [D]lady [C]knew it, he had
run [G]right out of the cottage.
The lady ran after him, shaking her spoon.
[Bb]Wher[F]e are you going?
[C]Come right back.
[Am]Turn around, cookie.
I [D]want a snack.
[G]Run, run as [C]fast as you can[G].
You [C]can't catch [G]me, I'm the
[D]Gingerbread
[G]Man!
Run, run, as [C]fast as you can[G]!
You [C]can't catch [G]me, I'm the
[D]Gingerbread
[G]Man!
[C]The
Gingerbread
Man thought he was safe,
[G]so he slowed down.
Soon, he came upon a [C]mustached man,
[G]doing [C]some [G]stretches.
He should have done a shake break.
True.
[C]Oh, hel[G]lo there.[C]
[G]Who[C] are you?
[G]My, oh my,
you look good enough to chew!
The
Gingerbread
Man started running [Bb]again!
[F]Where ya going?
[C]Come right back!
[Am]Turn around cookie, I [D]want a snack!
[G]Run, run as [C]fast as you can[G]!
You [C]can't catch [G]me, I'm the
[D]Gingerbread
[G]Man!
Run, run as [C]fast as you can[G]!
You [C]can't catch [G]me, I'm the
[D]Gingerbread
[G]Man!
[C]This time the
Gingerbread
Man passed a lady in a [G]bonnet
who was picking flowers!
[C]Uh -oh!
Good day, sir.
Welcome to my land.
[G]May I shake your [C]hand?[G]
[C]Or maybe I could [G]chew your hand.
[C]Is that icing?
[G]The
Gingerbread
Man started running again.
[Bb]Wher[F]e are you going?
[C]Come right back.
[Am]Turn around, cookie, I [D]want a snack!
[G]Run, run as [C]fast as you can[G].
You [C]can't catch [G]me, I'm the
[D]Gingerbread
Man.
[G]Run, run, as fas[C]t as you can[G],
you [C]can't catch [G]me, I'm the
[D]Gingerbread
[G]Man!
[C]Next, the
Gingerbread
Man passed by a [D]monk,
[Bm]who was just about to eat [Am]a big piece of [G]broccoli.
[C]Suddenly I don't like the look of my lunch,
[D]I s[Bm]mell something sweet and w[Am]arm to m[G]unch.
The
Gingerbread
Man started running again.
[F]Where you going?
[C]Come right back, [Am]turn around cookie,
I [D]want a snack!
Run[G], run as f[C]ast as you can,[G]
you [C]can't catch [G]me, I'm the
[D]Gingerbread
[G]Man.
Run, run as [C]fast as you can[G],
you [C]can't catch [G]me, I'm the
[D]Gingerbread
[G]Man.
The
[C]Gingerbread
Man came to a [D]stream, [C]but
Gingerbread
[Am]Man can'[G]t swim.
[C]Do you[Bm] kno[G]w why,
Reggie?
[D]Because he isn[C]'t
wearing a bathing suit?
No, because [G]he'll get all
[Am]soggy [Bm]and fall a[G]part.
Nobody [D]likes [C]a mushy cookie.
[D]Luck[C]ily [G]for him,
a fox was swimming in the water.
[C]Hop on my back. I'll take
you across the [G]stream.
You can trust me.
The [C]gingerbread man was so eager to
get away from [G]the baker,
the mustache [C]man, [G]the lady in the bonnet,
and [C]the monk,
that he hopped on the fox's
back [G]without thinking.
The fox started swimming.
[C]It's getting deeper.
[Em]Hop [C]onto my neck[G].[C][G][C]
It's getting even deeper,
hop on to my head
[G]It's [C]get[G]tin[C]g r[G]eal[C]ly deep,[Em]
[C]hop on to my nose
[G]The gingerbread [C]man [G]saw that they were
[C]almost at the other side of the stream.
He imagined get[D]ting to [Bm]the oth[B]er side and
[Am]making fun of [C]the people who had tried to
chase him, so he [D]hopped on [Bm]to
the [B]fox's [Am]nose.[G]
All of the sudden,
the fox flipped him up into the air.
And when he came down,
the fox opened his mouth wide and…
Oh no!
He gobbled him up in one bite!
The
End.
