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