13 Gingerbread Man.txt
They almost caught me
This time
They just about caught me today
But there's many a slip
Tween a cup and a lip
And
That's how I get away
Yeah Baby that's just how I get away
RUN RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN
YOU CAN'T CATCH ME I'M THE GINGER BREAD MAN
.
RUN RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN
YOU CAN'T CATCH ME I'M THE GINGER BREAD MAN
You might think that you're clever
But I'm aaa "cleverer" than you
I'll have you singing a softer tune
Before the day is through
Got away from the "old lady"
Got away from" the man"
Got away from that" pig"
They thought they had me in a jam
RUN RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN
YOU CAN'T CATCH ME I'M THE GINGER BREAD MAN
When I'm gone you'll be crying BoooHoo Hoo-
When you can't catch me you'll be crying boo Hoo Hoo hoo-
When I'm done
I'll jump out of your "oven"
If you know what I mean
Because after all that good lovin
You'll try to chase me
But I've already left the scene
RUN RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN
YOU CAN'T CATCH ME I'M THE GINGER BREAD MAN
RUN RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN
YOU CAN'T CATCH ME I'M THE GINGER BREAD MAN
Got away from the "old lady"
Got away from the "man"
Got away from that " pig "
They thought they had me in a jam
But
You might think you're clever
But I'm aaa "cleverer" than you
Ask me when I'll give up
I'll tell you
Never is too soon
Never is too soon
RUN RUN FAST AS YOU CAN
YOU CAN'T CATCH ME I'M THE GINGER BREAD MAN
