Granny's Little Yard Gnome Lyrics
Content to stand alone. Waiting, watching, guarding Granny's home.
His face reflecting simple joy, but he is not 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.
Surpressing 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 ample common sense.
But if I had my druthers, I'd druther 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 some 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
His face reflecting simple joy, but he is not happy, Plaster Boy.
hardening...."
Surpressing any urge to roam, such devotion from a little gnome.
And then the lanky Doberman that tinkled in my eye.
A pacifist by nature, with ample common sense.
But if I had my druthers, I'd druther be a fence.
And come around this springtime, I'm due for some 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

Lyrically Les is some-where out there with so many different dimensions of 'characters' he's covered in his songs or writings. This song takes care of a little gnome who keeps lil ol'e to granny to sleep. A simple yard gnome who surpresses any urge to roam.
