lyrics

I live underground
Under the rocky mound
In this sunless hall.
I’m just three feet tall.
I’m friends with the hedgehogs
And with the bullfrogs.
I dig in the earth;
I’m known for my mirth.
I’m the king of the gnomes
In these dim catacombs,
And I sit on my miniature throne.
Six centuries old,
With a scepter of gold,
Don’t let your words be too bold.

You may think I’m weird,
With my long white beard,
With my bulbous nose,
And my stubby toes.
If you call me a dwarf,
I’ll spit on your floor.
If you mock my size,
I’ll stab you in the thigh.
I’m the king of the gnomes
In these dim catacombs,
And I sit on my miniature throne.
Six centuries old,
With a scepter of gold,
Don’t let your words be too bold.

King of the gnomes, king of the gnomes,
King of the gnomes, king of the gnomes.

With my hefty girth,
I dug in the earth,
For the gold and gems
In my diadem.
When I play a joke
On you larger folk,
Don’t get incensed
When it’s at your expense.
I’m the king of the gnomes
In these dim catacombs,
And I sit on my miniature throne.
Six centuries old,
With a scepter of gold,
Don’t let your words be too bold.
