lyrics
Come little children, walk with me:
Don’t be afraid to talk with me.
The woods are dark and the night is near,
So let me take you in, my dears.
Somebody left you all alone;
No place now to call your home.
But stay and chat with me a while
And I’ll give you a treat that will make you smile:
Gingerbread, hot from my oven:
Baked with my love, and I’ve lots to spare.
Gingerbread, warm and delicious,
A lifetime of wishes in every square.
The house isn’t very far away.
We’ll make it there by the close of day.
And if you get hungry, don’t forget:
There, in the air, do you smell it yet?
Gingerbread, the taste of the summer;
The place where the summer never dies.
Gingerbread: licked from your fingers,
The flavor will linger the rest of your lives.
Gingerbread, the root of perfection,
My favorite confection, the pride of my home.
Gingerbread, so spicy and sweet,
It puts a dance in your feet, and puts meat on your bones.
Please don’t run away from me; I only wish you joys.
I’ve longed so long to entertain such lovely girls and boys,
Such tender children.
Somebody left you all alone;
Lucky for you that I brought you home.
You’ll spend a cozy time with me.
Now, hop up the front steps – one, two three.
You’ll find my kitchen full of charm;
A great big oven to keep us warm,
Safe from the wind and the rain and snow,
So open the door and in you go.
Gingerbread: it bake in an hour,
Ground with a flour as fine as silk.
Gingerbread, dark with molasses,
And washed down with glasses of honey and milk.
Gingerbread, hot from my oven:
Baked with my love, and I’ve lots to spare.
Gingerbread, warm and delicious,
A lifetime of wishes in every square.
A lifetime of wishes in every square.
