Come Back Little Man!
Tune: "Six Little Ducks"
One gingerbread boy popped out one
day
Over the hill he ran away.
When the man called
" Come back little man!"
He only answered,
"Catch me if you can!"
Repeat the verse, each time replacing
the "man" with a different character
from the story - cow, horse, threshers,
mowers.
Last Verse:
One gingerbread boy popped out one
day
Over the hill he ran away.
Then the fox called,
"Hop on my nose little man!
I'll gobble you up as fast as I can!"
