 I want to tell you a story

'Bout a little man if   I can.

-1  -2     3   -3” -3” -3 -1

 A gnome named Grimble Gromble.

 -1 -2” -2  -1     -1 -2”  -2    -1

And little gnomes stay in their homes,

Eating, sleeping, drinking their wine.

He wore a scarlet tunic,

 A blue-green hood, it looked quite good.

He had a big adventure

Amidst the grass, fresh air at last.

Wining, dining, biding his time.
