Nothing to do with David Bowie!

lyrics

THE GNOMES OF BROMLEY

Come in if you're coming, welcome to Duncarin
There's a committee meeting that I'm chairing
Concerning the council overspending
The residents are up in arms and feel penned in
By pillars of bureaucracy wrapped in red tape
We say it's high time to give decent folk a break
The bleeding hearts have bled us dry
Pack them off to Cuba and give someone else a try.

And it's with the greatest humility
I can't see for the life of me why it can't be me
I was on many a board of directors
Till Labour got in and thoroughly wrecked us
It's time to elbow the spongers and boot out the failures
Hang on, has someone been at my azaleas?
If you want peace then you've got to fight
And the ladder to success always leans to the right.

If all the bloody Reds
Come out from under the beds
They won't stop me
No, they can't stop me;
They won't take my privet hedge
Cos the first line of defence
Is The Gnomes Of Bromley
The Gnomes Of Bromley!

The Gnomes Of Bromley are in the gardens of England
Guarding the greenhouse and pond
They got where they are by sheer hard work
Not from some fairy waving a wand.

Come in, wipe your feet, that's what the mat's for
Honestly, what do we pay our tax for?
I've seen how easily these Europeans swarm in
But in this neck of the woods there'll be no housewarming
Civility and good manners will take an early bath
If any blighter dares to venture up my gravel path
Eating our swans, selling bootleg porn?
Sorry, old fruit, it's hosepipes at dawn.

If these freeloading Communists
Have got me on their list
They won't stop me
No, they won't top me;
They haven't reckoned
On my secret weapon
It's The Gnomes Of Bromley
The Gnomes Of Bromley!

Composed by Paul Hamilton & Dave Pope.
