Gingerbread Cookies

Kneader's Bakery is producing a new line of cookies - gingerbread men.  They are having a promotion on December 3rd from 7:00 to 8:00 p.m. at Utah locations where they will be giving out free cookies.  They have hired members of the Utah Storytelling Guild to tell the story of the Gingerbread Man at this event.  I was fortunate enough to be selected to tell at the new Ogden location.   I can tell other stories too, so (blame it on Frontrunner) I penned a little ditty that maybe I'll put to music to use, along with the Gingerbread Man story on http://smalltales1.blogspot.com .  Here it is:

Gingerbread Cookies

There's a ruckus in the kitchen, somethin's smellin' real good

You can sniff it through the window in the neighborhood
It's enough to stop the action of your play goin' on
So it's time to go and find 'em 'cause they'll soon be gone, they're

CHORUS:

Gingerbread, gingerbread, gingerbread cookies

Momma's gone and baked us some gingerbread cookies
Comin' from the oven hot and steamy looky looky
Can't get enough o' them gingerbread cookies
Momma's little baby loves gingerbread, gingerbread
Momma's little baby loves gingerbread men

Eat 'em when they're warm and soft, it's quite a treat

Then dip 'em in a glass of milk, they can't be beat
You can eat 'em in the morning, you can eat 'em in the night
You can eat 'em in the dark, you can eat 'em in the light

You can eat 'em in the bathtub, you can eat 'em in your bed
You can eat 'em when you're hungry, but don't eat 'em when you're dead
You can eat 'em with a fork, you can eat 'em with a knife
If you eat 'em when you need 'em, they might save your life

(CHORUS)

You can eat 'em when you're happy, you can eat 'em when your sad

You can eat 'em with your mom, you can eat 'em with your dad
You can eat 'em when you're workin' you can eat 'em when you play
You can eat 'em when the sun's up, you can eat 'em every day

You can eat 'em in the bakery you can eat 'em in the store

You can take 'em home and eat 'em then you'll eat a lot more
You can eat 'em when you're quiet, you can eat 'em when your loud
Now this eat 'em song is over so you should be proud of

(CHORUS)
