Hiding around on the ground
He'll be found when you're around

Yippee! You can't see me

But I can you
Lazing in the foggy dew
Sitting on a unicorn
No fair, you can't hear me
But I can you
Watching buttercups cup the light
Sleeping on a dandelion
Too much, I won't touch you
But then I might
Screaming through the starlit sky
Travelling by telephone
Hey ho, here we go
Ever so high
Alone in the clouds all blue
Lying on an eiderdown
Yippee! You can't see me
But I can you

A gnome named Grimble Grumble. And little gnomes stay in their homes,
G D Bb7 C F A7 D
Eating, sleeping, drinking their wine
D A D C A C A
He wore a scarlet tunic, a bluegreen hood; it looked quite good
D A D C A C A
He had a big adventure amidst the grass, fresh air at last
G D Bb7 C F A7 D
Wining, dining, biding his time
G C/G F A/E E G D G D
And then one day, hooray, another way for gnomes to say, "Hooray!"

Look at the sky; look at the river. Isn't it good?

Except when the wind cut up rough and mice ran around on the ground

He stood in a field where barley grows

The black and green scarecrow is sadder than me__

But now he's resigned to his fate's, 'cause life's not unkind
