    Gnome, The

    by Syd Barrett
    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,
    eat- ing, sleep- ing, drink- ing 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...

    (Chorus
    And then one day... Hoo- ray!
    A- nother way for gnomes to say
    Ooom- ray!)

    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.

    Chorus
