INTRO: (ah, ah, ah, ah, Ginger)
(ah, ah, ah, ah Ginger)
(ah, ah, ah, ah, Ginger Bread)
You're kinda naughty but you're naughty and nice
Say, Ginger Bread, Ginger Bread, Ginger Bread, Ginger Bread
Ginger Bread, Ginger Bread, Ginger Bread, Ginger Bread
You're full of sugar you're full of spice
You're kinda naughty but you're naughty and nice
My heart *beats crazy* ev'ry time I'm with you
But your mama says you're much too young to date
We meet on the corner and we share a kiss or two
How long did your mama think we'd wait, wait, wait ?
Ginger Bread, Ginger Bread, Ginger Bread, Ginger Bread
Ginger Bread, Ginger Bread, Ginger Bread, Ginger Bread
You're full of sugar you're full of spice
You're kinda naughty but you're naughty and nice
My heart beats crazy ev'ry time I'm with you
But your mama says you're much too young to date
We meet on the corner and we share a kiss or two
How long did your mama think we'd wait, wait, wait ?
Ginger Bread, Ginger Bread, Ginger Bread, Ginger Bread
Ginger Bread, Ginger Bread, Ginger Bread, Ginger Bread
You're full of sugar you're full of spice
You're kinda naughty but you're naughty and nice
(ah, ah, ah, ah, Ginger)
(ah, ah, ah, ah Ginger)
(ah, ah, ah, ah, Ginger Bread)

TRANSCRIBERS' NOTE: Neither Tom nor RobinHood are 100% positive that Frankie sings "My heart BEATS CRAZY" but neither does he sing what the lyricist wrote-"My heart does a crazy flip". We've chosen "beats crazy" as the best compromise.
