Lyrics sample

All

A little old woman sat

Reading her recipe book  (recipe book)

Put on her apron and

Washed her hands ready to cook  (ready to cook)

Old Woman (or group)  

I shall make a gingerbread man,

A gingerbread man, a gingerbread man.

I shall make a gingerbread man,

Tasty gingerbread man!

All

Stirred in the milk and flour,

Beat in the ginger and eggs  (ginger and eggs)

Rolled out the mixture and

Cut out his arms and his legs  (arms and his legs)

She will make a gingerbread man,

A gingerbread man, a gingerbread man... (etc.)
