Leprechaun Song

Early one St. Patty's day
When folks like me come out to play
I caught a rainbow from the Sun
And slid on down to have some fun

I found me way to yer playground
And set right down without a sound
Made sure that no kids were there
And threw me shoes up in the air

A leprechaun is who I'd be
With eyes o' blue and sleeves o' green
A leprechaun from days of olde
Keepin' safe me pot o' gold

Me eyes first glanced upon three swings
Which one to use, a tricky thing
The left the middle or the right
I'll swing on them all with all me might

Swinging, swinging back and forth
Swinging south and swinging north
Jumping off and jumping on
And off again onto the lawn

Rolling, rolling on the grass
Rolling slow then rolling fast
Rolling, rolling to and fro
And shooting shamrocks out me nose

A leprechaun is who I'd be
With eyes o' blue and sleeves o' green
You wonder where's me pot o' gold
I'll never tell ya, dontcha know

Well glory be, look what I've found
Me thinks I'll try the merry-go-round

Round and round and round I go

Ho ta toh ta toh ta …WOOOAAAOH…

I guess I shouldn't have let go…

Plopped right down in a box of sand
A pail on me head and shovel in hand
Built a castle, dug a hole
With squishy sand between me toes

What was that? I heard a noise
Oh no it's all you girls and boys
Coming out to laugh and play
I 'd better make me getaway!

Dropped me shovel, Dropped me pail
Grabbed me shoes and made a trail
O'er hill and o'er dale
Until I caught me rainbow's tail

A leprechaun is who I'd be
Amazed by all that I have seen
With all these wonders to behold
Who really needs a pot o' gold
