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
