Lyrics - Teeny Tiny Gnome by Monkees

Dit-da-dit-da-dit-da-dit-da-dit-dit-da,
Dit-da-dit-da-dit-da-dit-da-dit-dit-da.
Kicking stones on an old, dirt road,
Feeling dear-dejected and all alone,
When
I looked up ahead and thought my mind,
I'd blown,
On a giant toadstool sat a teeny, tiny gnome.
Dit-da-dit-da-dit-da-dit-da-dit-dit-da,
Dit-da-dit-da-dit-da-dit-da-dit-dit-da.
He was all involved in a game of solitaire,
Said hello with a smile, just like
I wasn't there,
I kicked the dirt some more, he said, "
Please don't start a fight,"
Found a church-key in his pocket, he opened up his pipe.
Dit-da-dit-da-dit-da-dit-da-dit-dit-da,
Dit-da-dit-da-dit-da-dit-da-dit-dit-da.
He blew some silver circles,
Wound his fingers in his beard,
And from that pipe came magic music
Like
I'd never heard.
SOLODit-da-dit-da-dit-da-dit-da-dit-dit-da,
Dit-da-dit-da-dit-da-dit-da-dit-dit-da.
As the notes came floating in,
I picked up both my ears,
I walked into a drive-in, hadn't felt so starved in years,
A rabbit waiter took the order and quickly disappeared,
He said "
The party's over, please come back in a thousand years."
Dit-da-dit-da-dit-da-dit-da-dit-dit-da,
Dit-da-dit-da-dit-da-dit-da-dit-dit-da,
Dit-da-dit-da-dit-da-dit-da-dit-dit-da,
Dit-da-dit-da-dit-da-dit-da-dit-dit-da.fade out...
