lyrics
The day that you receive your black hat,
Is the day that you become a spratling of great note,
Apprenticed to the greatest of
The Gnomes of Locapo!
And when you put on your white gloves,
When all the festivals of clans are in full flow.
Achieve the commendation of
The Gnomes of Locapo!
You know, that you can be a great gnome,
And be a true inventor,
Excel at what you’ve learnt!
And after, become a full craft master,
An artisan exemplar,
Until your gloves are burnt!
The Gnomes of Loca...
The Gnomes of Locapo!
Now wear, the colours of your great clan,
And be a marvellous example to all gnomes!
A simple aspiration for,
A Gnome of Locapo!
Although, you may take a new clan.
Through marriage, adoption or bereavement, change your clothes,
Expect no condemnation from,
The Gnomes of Locapo!
You could, in anger take the oathsblood!
Our enemies will answer,
The enmity they’ve earnt!
And after, might marry to the Chippewa,
And be our noble leader,
Until your gloves are burnt!
The Gnomes of Loca...
The Gnomes of Locapo!
But wait! If you should meet a stranger,
With a purse! He opens it so much it is on show!
Why that’s an invitation to,
A Gnome of Locapo!
And when, he sees you with it later,
And yells of villainy at large, I say to thee no!
Give moral affirmation to,
This Gnome of Locapo!
For we are more clever and more braver!
Our culture is our raiment,
That no one can subvert!
A family, that gathers in the malki,
Forever ‘til we’re ancient,
And all our gloves are burnt!
The Gnomes of Loca...
The Gnomes of Locapo!
