Once upon a time
these old hands put some dough 2gether
and made a Gingerbread Man
emeralds 4 eyes
cherries 4 buttons once they were open
she made them 4 nothing
if u can c me holler as loud as u can
C if u can catch the Gingerbread man
Now, eye love me some me
but eyem sick of the island
eyem looking 4 Ginger
eyem tired, eym tired of Maryanne
if u got what eye need
holler as loud as U can
C if U can catch the Gingerbread man
(eye Need something GOLD)
(Guitar Solo)
Ain't no drought about it
eye can make the weather change
when eye make u "ohhhh"
there will b rain
if ur standing over a puddle
eye say
if ur standing over a puddle
if ur standing over a puddle
jump on my hips
and hear this guitar go...girl.....
make ya make ma ya take a trip
sometimes its snows
sometimes it rains
do u no how 2 catch the Gingerbread man?
sometimes its snows
sometimes it rains
do u no how 2 catch the Gingerbread man?
sometimes its snows
sometimes it rains
sometimes it rains
sometimes it rains

so glad I wasn't the only one who noticed his friggin schlong bouncing around while he danced in that red outfit...whoa. I saw it at the last show in East Rutherford in the yellow pants, but the red showed more I though.

Did anyone notice how he pulled his pants down on the top when he was on the ramp opposite the piano? It was a little after he opened his shirt. lol

I love whorish Prince.

this is what I got so far feel free to add or correct,

(Also it only begins with the ? of U, once he starts singing it merges to a different music very island'ish like with renato on the keyboard.)

Once upon a time,

lil old hand (??)

put some dough together and made a gingerbreadman
emeraulds for eyes, cheries for bottoms
once they were open,
she knew, she loved him for nothin

If you can see me holler as loud as u can
If you could see me, you think u'd catch.. the gingerbreadman

Now, I love me some me, but I'm sick of the island
I'm looking for ginger I'm tired, I'm tired maryann

????

Ain't no drought about it
I can make the weather change
Everytime I make love, it rains

If you're standing over a puddle, if you're standing over a puddle
????

sometimes it snows, sometimes it rains,
do u know how to catch the gingerbread man...(repeat 2x)

Does Prince have green eyes? It just hit me in the lyrics that was posted he said the gingerbread man had emerald eyes..... And his bottom did look like sheeries in the red outfit he had on 12/29!

they are like my moms color. not totally just light brown..definitely some green in there too...gorgeous color

i guess it depends how they are photographed. my eyes have alot of green in them too and are teal but in pics look really light blue....

I need to hear this song.

I heard the song on the radio the other day on WBAI, New York. I like it, I like it, I like it. He can sing the alphabet and still sound sexy !

On my way home last night I was listening to the Under the Cherry Moon Soundtrack and just put two and two together that it sounds a lot like Joy in Repition I believe Ginger Bread Man was a mixture of Under the Cherry Moon. Just my two cents on an old topic.

Prince been watching Shrek singing about his Buttons and stuff the song is cute I it
