Testo The Laughing Gnome - David Bowie
Testo della canzone The Laughing Gnome (David Bowie), tratta dall'album David Bowie (Deluxe Edition)
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
With his tiny hands on his tummy
Chuckling away, laughing all day
I ought to report you to the Gnome Office (Gnome Office)
"Ha-ha-ha, hee-hee-hee
I'm a laughing gnome, and you can't catch me (whoo!)
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?)
Hey, where do you come from?
(Gnome-man's land)
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
Yeah, what's that clicking noise?
That's Fred, he's a metro-gnome
Ha-ha-ha, hee-hee-hee
I'm a laughing gnome, and you can't catch me (whoo!)
Ha-ha-ha, hee-hee-hee
I'm a laughing gnome, and you can't catch me
Oh now, I'm a gnome, anyway
Haven't you got a gnome to go to?
No, we are gnome-ads
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 Eco-gnome-ics
Now they're staying up the 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 uh, it's the gnome-service, 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, yeah)
Ha-ha-ha, hee-hee-hee
I'm a laughing gnome, and you can't catch me (whoo!)
Ha-ha-ha
