"The Gnome"

I want to tell you a story

About a little man, if I can

A gnome named Grimble Crumble

And little gnomes stay in their homes

Eating, sleeping, drinking their wine

He wore a scarlet tunic

A blue green hood, it looked quite good

He had a big adventure

Amidst the grass, fresh air at last

Wining, dining, biding his time

And then one day, Hooray!

Another way for gnomes to say

Ooh, my

Look at the sky, look at the river

Isn't it good?

Look at the sky, look at the river

Isn't it good?

Winding, finding places to go

And then one day, hooray!

Another way for gnomes to say

Ooh, my

Ooh, my
