about

Another turn of the century song, classic novelty song but all based on true stories, names have changed to protect the innocent! From Beer Chalk Trains Gnomes and Other Stuff.

lyrics

You might see them in a garden near your home
You may even have one to call your very own
They wear hats in the shape of a cone
Look like plastic or ceramic but really flesh and bone

They come from Vietnam and the Euro zone
The are not elves, goblins or little garden trolls

Be kind to you local garden gnomes

They sometimes come in boxes with ventilation holes
Or get them on the highway by the side of the road
Some are in the forest where they naturally roam
They're friends with snails and like their beer with some foam

Some are evil but most have lovely souls
You'll find them where the crystal waters flow

Oh, be kind to your local garden gnomes

What do I want for Christmas? I want a garden gnome
Something to protect your home? I want a garden gnome
Something for decoration? I want a garden gnome
Something with magical powers? I want a garden gnome

But when it causes trouble you can shoot your garden gnome
Throw it off a bridge or stone your garden gnome
Hang it from a railing or club your garden gnome
But until then, please be kind to your garden gnome
