You 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

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 in me tummy too.
(spoken) Oh, what a dilemma.
(singing) 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.
