The Gnome" is the one.

Yes, it’s “The Gnome” from The Piper at the Gates of Dawn. The lyrics came from a poem written by Syd Barrett’s then-girlfriend, Jenny Spires. She wrote the poem for him, and he set it to music with that weird nursery-rhyme melody. Classic early Pink Floyd.

You probably know the lines: “I want a gnome / To call my own.” That’s pure Jenny Spires. Syd didn’t write much about gnomes otherwise. So if you’re trying to win a bar bet or settle a trivia argument — “The Gnome” is your answer. Just don’t expect it to come up on
