[Les Claypool And The Holy Mackerel - Granny's Little Yard Gnome lyrics]
Welcome Home
Content to stand alone
Waiting, watching, guarding Granny's home
His face reflecting simple joy
But he is not a happy Plaster boy
"Careful sonny, not too close
Unless you want a lethal dose of hardening"
Patiently waiting for some shade
Wishing he could run away
Suppressing any urge to roam
Such devotion from a little gnome
I once saw a calico that thought he could fly
And then the lanky Doberman that
Tinkled in my eye
A pacifist by nature, with amble common sense
But, if I had my druthers
I'd rather be a fence
Now Granny, she's a good one
She shines me now and then
And come around this springtime
I'm due for paint again
On keeping Granny comfy
I try and earn my keep
I'm just wishing I had some eyelids
So I could get some sleep
Content to stand alone
Waiting, watching, guarding Granny's home
His face reflecting simple joy
But he is not a happy Plaster boy
"Careful sonny, not too close
Unless you want a lethal dose of hardening"
Patiently waiting for some shade
Wishing he could run away
Suppressing any urge to roam
Such devotion from a little gnome
I once saw a calico that thought he could fly
And then the lanky Doberman that
Tinkled in my eye
A pacifist by nature, with amble common sense
But, if I had my druthers
I'd rather be a fence
Now Granny, she's a good one
She shines me now and then
And come around this springtime
I'm due for paint again
On keeping Granny comfy
I try and earn my keep
I'm just wishing I had some eyelids
So I could get some sleep
