Home of the Roving Gnome

(tune: House of the Rising Sun)

There is a house way up north in Vermont,
Home to the Roving Gnome.
And many a mile has passed beneath his feet
And, boy, he’s glad he’s home.

His good wife is a traveler –
She books the trips with points.
The willing gnome follows along
To vacation joints.

The only thing a gnome really needs
Is a place to lay his head
And the only time he’s really happy
Is home in his bed

Oh, people, you may enjoy
Around the world to roam.
A gnome may smile but yearns to return
To the Home of the Roving Gnome

Well, he’s had a long trek to the South
And another to the hills.
But now he’s home – for a week –
To recoup from the thrills.

There is a house way up north in Vermont,
Home to the Roving Gnome.
And many a mile has passed beneath his feet
And, boy, he’s glad he’s home.
