I was walking- down the high street- when I heard footsteps behind me,
Ab C F C F C
and there was a little old man in scarlet and grey, chuckling away.
Ab C
Well he trotted- back to my house- and he sat beside the telly,
Ab C F C F C
with his tiny hands on his tummy, chuckling away, chugging all day.
[spoken] "I ought to report you to the gnome office." "Gnome office, ha,ha,ha!"

Ha,ha, ha!- Hee,hee, hee!- I'm a laughing gnome and you can't catch me.-

Ha,ha, ha!- Hee,hee, hee!- I'm a laughing gnome and you can't catch me.-

Said the laughing gnome.
Ab C
Well I gave him- roasted toad-stools- And a glass of dandelion wine.
Ab C F C F C
Then I put him on a train to Eastbourne and carried his bag and gave him a fag.

"Ave you got a light boy?" "'Ere! Where do you come from?"
"Gnome-man's land." "Oh,really."

In the morning- when I woke up- he was sitting on the edge of my bed-
Ab C F C F C
with his brother whose name was Fred. He'd brought him along- to sing me a song.-
C
"Alright let's here it?" "'Ere! what's that clicking sound?"
F
"That's Fred. He's a metrognome." "Own up. I'm a gnome, ain' I?"
C
"Ain't you got a gnome to go to?"
"No! We're gnomads." "Didn't they teach you to get your 'aircut at school? You
look like a rolling gnome."
"Not at the London school of Ecognomics."
C Ab C
Now they staying- up the chimney- and we're living on caviar and honey-
