Lyrics for 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 Ooomray 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 Ooomray Ooomray
