Let's build a Gingerbread House
by Richard Graham


Let's build a gingerbread house.
A gingerbread house.
A gingerbread house.
Let's build a gingerbread house.

First we need some windows
Then we need a door
Next we need a roof
And we need some walls.

(Repeat chorus)

Next we need a garden.
And we need a tree.
Then we need a chimney


(Repeat chorus)
