The Laughing Gnome - David Bowie

作词：David Bowie

作曲：David Bowie

I was walking down the high street

When I heard footsteps behind me

And there was a little old man hello

In scarlet and gray chuckling away

Well he trotted back to my house

And he sat beside the telly ahh

With his tiny hands on his tummy

Chuckling away laughing all day

I ought to report you to the gnome office

Gnome office ahahahah

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

Well I gave him roasted toadstools

And a glass of dandelion wine

Pardon

Then I put him on a train to Eastbourne

Carried his bag and gave him a fag

Have you got a light boy

Here where do you come from

Gnome man's land heehee

Oh really

In the morning when I woke up

He was sitting on the edge of my bed

With his brother whose name was Fred

He'd brought him along to sing me a song

Alright let's hear it 'ere what's that clicking noise

That's Fred he's a metro gnome haha

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

Oh now I'm a gnome anyway haha

Haven't you got a home to go to

No we are gnome ads hehe

Didn't they teach you to get your hair cut at school

You look like a rolling gnome

Nah not at the London school of Ecogenomics

Now they're staying up me chimney

And we're living on caviar and honey hurray

Cause they're earning me lots of money

Writing comedy prose for radio shows

It's the errrr it's the gnome service yes of course

Ha ha ha hee hee hee

I'm a laughing gnome and you can't catch me

Ha ha ha hee hee hee

Oh dear me

I'm a laughing gnome and you can't catch me

One more time

Ha ha ha hee hee hee

I'm a laughing gnome and you can't catch me
