3rd ever song - written for my teacher (well he asked for arpeggios so its kinda his fault...) @6months. Song about Pete the Pick Gnome - did you ever wonder where all those picks went to? Now you know :p
Lyrics
I'm a pick gnome
And I live in your amp
I’m Plectrum Pete the pick gnome
And my house is rather cramped
I'm a pick gnome
And I live in your amp
I’m Plectrum Pete the pick gnome
I am
VERSE:
My dads the tuning pixie
And he taught me all he knows
He taught me how to steal a pick
And to stay away from clothes
My momma was a pick gnome
The greatest in the world
You ever lost a pick mid-strum?
I bet that was my mom!
CHORUS:
I'm a pick gnome
And I live in your amp
I’m Plectrum Pete the gnome
And my house is rather cramped
I'm a pick gnome
And I live in your amp
I’m Plectrum Pete the gnome
I am
VERSE:
But one day in the night
My mom was in a trouser pocket
When a giant hairy foot came down
And landed right upon it.
We never saw my mom again -
It squished her good and proper.
If you route through pockets
You will likely come a cropper!
BRIDGE:
So stay away from clothes my son
My papa said to me
Squished is not a way to go
Its rather unhealthy.
So pockets are off limits
Your picks are safe in there
But I’ll steal all the others
And you’ll never know I’m there!
CHORUS:
I'm a pick gnome
And I live in your amp
I’m Plectrum Pete the gnome
And my house is rather cramped
I'm a pick gnome
And I live in your amp
I’m Plectrum Pete the gnome
I am
VERSE (Pete):
I’ll steal your picks from under you
In memory of my mother
I’ll hide them in the fridge, the loo,
Until you buy another
I keep collecting picks
And I display them in my house,
But if they’re in a pocket
Then they’re safer than a mouse!
CHORUS:
I'm a pick gnome
And I live in your amp
I’m Plectrum Pete the pick gnome
And my house is rather cramped
I'm a pick gnome
And I live in your amp
I’m Plectrum Pete the pick gnome
And you need a big new amp!!
