There’s No Place Like Gnome
[GNOME]
Greeting from the Great Wall of China!
[RAPHAEL]
Here's another from the U.S
[GNOME]
Sending lots of luck from Las Vegas!
[RAPHAEL]
Every week a new address
[GNOME]
Cheerio from Buckingham Palace!
[RAPHAEL]
I admit he looks good as a guard
But I want him back in my backyard
[GNOME]
Rio De Janeiro's Brazilliant
[RAPHAEL]
Do you see that crack in his clay?
[GNOME]
Here today gone to Maui
[RAPHAEL]
His black paint's fading to gray
[GNOME]
Traveling the world is tremendous
[RAPHAEL]
But for a garden gnome, its gotta be hard
But I just 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
The stewardesses they always wonder
Doesn't matter where I roam
She asks "Are you one of Santa's elves?"
And I say "Ma'am I am a Gnome!"
[RAPHAEL]
I just want him back in my backyard
I just want him back in my backyard
I just want him back where he belongs
Back when nothing moves
Back before these feelings made me feel things
[AMÉLIE]
Dad, it's really good to see you
Here's a glass of water; 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 like the white wine and mussels
Dad, this is Suzanne
