[Verse 1]
D A D C A C A
I want to tell you a story 'bout a little man, if I can,

A gnome named Grimble Gromble. And little gnomes stay in their homes,

Eating, sleeping, drinking their wine.

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.

And then one day, hooray, another way for gnomes to say, "Oooooooh my"

And then one day, hooray, another way for gnomes to say, "Oooooooh my"
