To the tune of 'The Green Green Grass of Home' The Green Green Garden Gnome The old gnome town looks just the same As I stand here in the rain And there around me stand my momma and my pappa Down the path I look, and there stands Mary Belt of gold and hat like cherry It's good to be a green green garden gnome Yes, they all stand around me Fishing, digging, smoking sweetly It's good to be a green green garden gnome The exhibition still stands there You can see gnomes everywhere Dressed in red and green, with beards and pointed hats on Down the path I stare at my sweet Mary What a gnome, not like a fairy It's good to be a green green garden gnome Yes they all stand around me Flying, playing cricket proudly It's good to be a green green garden gnome Then I awake and look around me At the grey sack that surrounds me And I realise from the show I have been taken They say that I've been liberated If this is freedom, it's overrated I was happy as a green green garden gnome Yes they'll all come to see me As I hang beneath the bridge at Briey I've no chance to love my sweet green garden gnome.
