Gong With The Luminous Nose

Gordon Haskell

Ten long years ago, the Gong was happy and gay
'Til he fell in love with a Jumblie girl who came ashore one day,
Wandering through the forest, went the Gong with the Luminous Nose.

Playing his pipe with silvery squeaks, looking for his Jumblie girl,
But she's gone away in a plastic sieve to quite another world,
Over the hills of Shankley Bore went the Gong with the Luminous Nose.

Landing at eve near the Zemmery Fidd, just where the Jumblies live,
Oblong oysters growing in that Grambolian sieve,
Over the hills of Shankley Bore went the Gong with the Luminous Nose
