There’s No Place Like Gnome [UK Version] lyrics

GNOME:

Greetings from The Great Wall of China

RAPHAEL:

Here's another from the U.S

GNOME:

Sending lots of love from Las Vegas

RAPHAEL:

Every week, a new address

GNOME:

Cheerio from Buckingham Palace

RAPHAEL:

I admit, he looks good as a guard

I want him back in my backyard

GNOME:

Rio De Janerio's Brazilliant

RAPHAEL:

Do you see that crack in his clay?

GNOME:

Here today gone to Maui

RAPHAEL:

His black paint is fading to grey

GNOME:

Travelling the world is tremendous

RAPHAEL:

For a garden gnome it's got to be hard

But I want him back in my backyard

GNOME:

Put on my pointy shoes

And board another plane

Race down to Monaco

Chase down a bull in Spain

Ha!

The stewardesses always wonder

Doesn't matter where I roam

She asks, "Are you one of Santa's elves?"

I say, "Mam, I am a gnome!"

RAPHAEL & CHORUS:

I just want him back

RAPHAEL (GNOME, spoken):

In my back yard (Thank you!)

RAPHAEL & CHORUS:

I just want him back

RAPHAEL:

In my back yard

I just want him back where he belongs

Back where nothing moves

Back before these feelings make me feel

Things

AMÉLIE:

Papa, it's really good to see you

Here's a glass of Conyac

Take a sip

I know that change isn't easy

I'm glad that you made the trip

Why don't you look at the menu?

Meet a few of my friends while you can

You'd love the white wine and mussles

Papa, this is Suzanne

(Spoken)

She worked in the circus

RAPHAEL (spoken):

Oh...
