there's a good choice emma

the gingerbread man by pat hatchman it's

okay

once there was an old man and an old

woman who had no

children so they baked a gingerbread man

[Music]

when they took him out of the oven they

were happy

but then he jumped out of the pan and

ran away

the old man and the old woman ran after

him

but the gingerbread man just laughed and

said

run run as fast as you can you can't

catch me

i'm the gingerbread man and they

couldn't catch him

the gingerbread man ran and ran he ran

past a cow

standing on a patch of grass the cow

said

mmm ooh a gingerbread man

i'm going to eat you but the gingerbread

man

just laughed and said run run as fast as

you can

you can't catch me i'm the gingerbread

man

and the cow couldn't catch him the

gingerbread man ran and ran

he ran past a ram in a carrot patch

the ram said a gingerbread man

i'm going to eat you but the gingerbread

man just laughed and said

run run as fast as you can you can't

catch me

i'm the gingerbread man and the ram

couldn't catch him

just then a fox walked by and said

a gingerbread man i think i'll eat him

but the gingerbread man just laughed and

said

run run as fast as you can you can't

catch me

i'm the gingerbread man

maybe i can't said the fox but if you

try to cross that

river you will surely get wet and

crumbled to pieces

hop on my tail and i'll carry you across

so the gingerbread man did just that

the frog started to swim as he did

his tail dipped into the water and he

said

my tail is getting wet you'd better

climb onto my back

so the gingerbread man did just that

the fox swam on but soon he said

my back is getting wet you'd better

climb onto my

nose so the gingerbread man did just

that

[Music]

man looked back and saw the old man the

old woman the cow

and the ram standing at the back of the

river he

laughed and said run

run as fast as you can you can't catch

me

well what do you mean oh well i saw the

cute happy little gingerbread man going

into the fox's mouth

uh are they saying the fox ate him

chewed him up

and swallowed him old uh that's right

message without showing the actual

chewing and swallowing the message
