lyrics

the gnome with the chocolate cake
is mocking me, mocking me
he's making my stomach ache
and talkin with his mouth full
with crumbs in his beard
he starts singin, o tra la la
he's shakin my hand and his fingers are sticky

i ask
what should i call you
his smirk tells me everything
well everything except
what i should call him
Smirky the gnome reaches into his pocket
and out through the bottom of his pant leg
to pick up a crumb of chocolate cake
i can tell he's still mocking me

he stands up and brushes off his beard
and tips his pointy hat
and just like that
he disappears
i'm left with one question
it's just as i feared
he has taken the chocolate cake
chocolate cake
