The Laughing Gnome
4
I was walking down the High Street
5
When I heard footsteps behind me
6
And there was a little old man (Hello)
7
In scarlet and grey, shuffling away (laughter)
8
Well he trotted back to my house
9
And he sat beside the telly (Oaah..)
10
With his tiny hands on his tummy
11
Chuckling away, laughing all day (laughter)
12
Oh, I ought to report you to the Gnome office
13
(Gnome Office)
14
Yes
15
(Hahahahaha)
16
Ha ha ha, hee hee hee
17
"I'm a laughing Gnome and you don't catch me"
18
Ha ha ha, hee hee hee
19
"I'm a laughing Gnome and you can't catch me"
20
Said the laughing Gnome
21
Well I gave him roasted toadstools and a glass of dandelion wine (Burp, pardon)
22
Then I put him on a train to Eastbourne
23
Carried his bag and gave him a fag
24
(Haven't you got a light boy?)
25
"Here, where do you come from?"
26
(Gnome-man's land, hahihihi)
27
"Oh, really?"
28
In the morning when I woke up
29
He was sitting on the edge of my bed
30
With his brother whose name was Fred
31
He'd bought him along to sing me a song
32
Right, let's hear it
33
Here, what's that clicking noise?
34
(That's Fred, he's a "metrognome", haha)
35
Ha ha ha, hee hee hee
36
"I'm a laughing Gnome and you don't catch me"
37
Ha ha ha, hee hee hee
38
"I'm a laughing Gnome and you can't catch me"
39
(Own up, I'm a gnome, ain't I right, haha)
40
"Haven't you got an 'ome to go to?"
41
(No, we're gnomads)
42
"Didn't they teach you to get your hair cut at school? you look like a rolling gnome."
43
(No, not at the London School of Ecognomics)
44
Now they're staying up the chimney
45
And we're living on caviar and honey (hooray!)
46
Cause they're earning me lots of money
47
Writing comedy prose for radio shows
48
It's the-er (what?)
49
It's the Gnome service of course
50
Ha ha ha, hee hee hee
51
"I'm a laughing Gnome and you don't catch me"
52
Ha ha ha, oh, dear me
53
(Ha ha ha, hee hee hee
54
"I'm a laughing Gnome and you can't catch me"
55
Ha ha ha, hee hee hee
56
"I'm a laughing Gnome and you can't catch me")
57
(One more time, yeah)
