I want to tell you a story
About a little man
If I can.
A gnome named Grimble Crumble.
And little gnomes stay in their homes.
Eating, sleeping, drinking their wine.
He wore a scarlet tunic,
A blue green hood,
It looked quite good.
He had a big adventure
Amidst the grass
Fresh air at last.
Wining, dining, biding his time.
And then one day, hooray!
Another way for gnomes to say
Oooooooooomray.
Look at the sky, look at the river
Isn't it good?
Look at the sky, look at the river
Isn't it good?
Winding, finding places to go.
And then one day, hooray!
Another way for gnomes to say
Oooooooooomray.
Ooooooooooooooomray.
About a little man
If I can.
A gnome named Grimble Crumble.
And little gnomes stay in their homes.
Eating, sleeping, drinking their wine.
He wore a scarlet tunic,
A blue green hood,
It looked quite good.
He had a big adventure
Amidst the grass
Fresh air at last.
Wining, dining, biding his time.
And then one day, hooray!
Another way for gnomes to say
Oooooooooomray.
Look at the sky, look at the river
Isn't it good?
Look at the sky, look at the river
Isn't it good?
Winding, finding places to go.
And then one day, hooray!
Another way for gnomes to say
Oooooooooomray.
Ooooooooooooooomray.

IT`S ONE OF HIS TRIPS..FOR ME HE CREATES A "GNOMES LANGUAGE"..IF U NOTICE THE "R" SOUNDS VERY PECULIAR, AS AS BRITISH ACCENT..
IT`S GREAT THE "LOOK AT THE SKY, LOOK AT THE RIVER.." CONTEMPLATING THE NATURE..VERY INTERESTING SONG.

Frodo is "the Gnome"
he has a "big adventure" to destroy the ring
another way for the gnomes to say hurray" is them greeting you as you enter their world through DMT. They know of you and want to contact you through that world.
Then I do believe that this song goes into getting high off of drugs.
Grimble Gromble could possibly be Bilbo who was biding his time with wine and second breakfasts in Hobbiton before he had a big adventure amidst the grass and discovered a new way to say hooray
Anyone thinking it has some connection to Lord of the Rings or the Hobbit, there is no doubt that this very closely resembles the Hobbit, but I think, if anything, it is a loose reference to it.
Anyway, it's a great song.
