The Laughing Gnome by David Bowie
I was walking
Down the high street
When I heard footsteps behind me
And there was a little old man (hello!)
Scarlet and Gray, chuckling away
Well he trotted
Back to my house
And he sat (1)____________ the telly (ahh)
With his tiny (2)__________ on his tummy
Chuckling away, laughing all day
I'll have to (3)____________ you to the (4)__________ office
(gnome office? ahahahah!)
Hah hah hah

I'm a (5)________________ (6)__________ and you can't catch me
Hah hah hah
Hee hee hee
I'm a laughing gnome and you can't catch me

Well I gave him roasted toadstools
And a glass of dandelion wine (*burp* pardon)
Then I put him on a (7)__________ to Eastbourne
Carried his bags, and gave him a fag (have you got a light boy?)
hey where do you come from?
(gnome-ans land, hehe!)

In the morning
When i woke up
