Gingerbread man, me love you

Gingerbread man, 'cause you got

Cookie hands and cookie feet

You so brown and friendly and delicious to eat

Oh, gingerbread man, me love you

Gingerbread man, but fella, me not know what to do

'Cause you a cookie and a dolly, too



First me want to hug you like a best friend should

Then me want to eat you 'cause you taste so good

First me want to play with you my whole life through

But me want to put you in me tummy, too



Gingerbread man, me love you

Gingerbread man, me want to eat you 'cause you made of gingerbread

But, no, no, no, me love you so

Gingerbread man, me gonna keep you for a gingerbread friend

And eat oatmeal cookie instead
