There's No Place Like Gnome

Greeting from the Great Wall of China!
Here's another from the U.S
Sending lots of luck from Las Vegas!
Every week a new address.

Cheerio from Buckingham Palace!
I admit he looks good as a guard
But I want him back in my backyard.

Rio De Janeiro's Brazilliant
Do you see that crack in his clay?
Here today gone to Maui
His black paint's fading to gray.

Traveling the world is tremendous
But for a garden gnome, its gotta be hard
But I just want him back in my backyard.

Put on my pointy shoes
And board another plane
Race down to Monaco
Chase down a bull in Spain
The stewardesses they always wonder
Doesn't matter where I roam
She asks "Are you one of Santa's elves?"
And I say "Ma'am I am a Gnome!"

I just want him back in my backyard
I just want him back in my backyard
I just want him back where he belongs
Back when nothing moves
Back before these feelings made me feel things.

Dad, it's really good to see you
Here's a glass of water; take a sip
I know that change isn't easy
I'm glad that you made the trip
Why don't you look at the menu?
Meet a few of my friends while you can
You like the white wine and mussels
Dad, this is Suzanne.
