Deep in the forest, lives the spring gnome
The smallest of gnomes
In the smallest of homes.
He has slept all winter, he’s slept quite a lot
In his cozy little home,
Where the snow is not.
One day as he snores
In his dreams hears a call
Of the sweetest little spring fairy
The sweetest of them all.
She calls for him to wake “wake up” (singing voice)
The little sleepy gnome
From his wintertime slumber
In his cozy gnomy home.
His ear perks up
His snores do stop
He opens one eye, and wakes right up!
He peeks out the doorway
And what does he see?
A tiny little tip, of a flower to be…
He steps outside
To the warm soft breeze,
And this is when, he begins to sneeze! “Achoo, achoo, achoo, achoo, achoo!”
He sneezes five times,
And when he stops
Five little spring fairies, are all lined up
All ready to begin, the spring work ahead,
Of bringing the flowers and bugs out of bed.
They have been sleeping all winter long,
the way to best wake them is to sing a spring song
The song that they then – sing, sang and sung
Reminds everyone – spring truly has sprung!
They dance ‘round the forest,
All day and all night.
Now in morning sun – COLORS SO BRIGHT!!
Flowers blooming, short and tall
Bugs buzzing and flying, some big and some small
We know the song that they do sing
Let’s sing with the fairies to welcome the spring…………
