Lucky Leprechaun
(Sung to the
tune of: "The Itsy Bitsy Spider")
The little
leprechaun went skipping 'cross the ground.
He found a four leaf clover with petals all around.
He made a secret wish that his day be filled with joy.
Then he ran to share his luck with every girl and boy!
I'm A Little
Leprechaun
(Sung to the
tune of: "I'm a Little Teapot")
I'm a little
leprechaun, can't you see?
I am as tiny as can be!
I only come around just once a year
That's when St. Patrick's Day is here!
This Little
Leprechaun
This little
leprechaun slid down the rainbow,
(Point to thumb.)
This little leprechaun stayed home.
(Point to index finger.)
This little leprechaun picked a shamrock,
(Point to middle finger.)
This little leprechaun found some gold.
(Point to ring finger.)
This little leprechaun cried, "See if you can catch me,"
(Point to little finger.)
As he ran home.
(Wiggle little finger.)
Leprechaun,
Leprechaun
Leprechaun,
leprechaun,
Hiding in the hay.
(Hide pointer finger under opposite hand.)
Leprechaun, leprechaun,
Don't you run away.
(Hop pointer finger around.)
Leprechaun, leprechaun,
Let's go out and play.
(Hop both pointer fingers together.)
Leprechaun, leprechaun,
It's St. Patrick's Day!
(Dance pointer fingers up and down.)
Lucky
Leprechaun
(Sung to the

Leprechaun,
Leprechaun,
Oh, where can you be?
Come a little closer now,
Don't be afraid of me.
Leprechaun,
Leprechaun,
You bring luck my way.
I'd really like to see you
On this St. Patrick's Day!
On St.
Patrick's Day
(Sung to the
tune of: "If You're Happy and You Know It")
On St. Patrick's
Day, we'll all wear somethin' green.
On St. Patrick's Day, we'll all wear somethin' green.
Wear a green scarf, belt, or hat,
Or green socks - just think of that!
On St. Patrick's Day, we'll all wear somethin' green.
On St. Patrick's
Day, we'll wish each other luck.
On St. Patrick's Day, we'll wish each other luck.
"Luck o' the Irish," we will say
To each other on that day.
On St. Patrick's Day, we'll wish each other luck.
Leprechaun
Poem
Leprechaun,
leprechaun, don't catch cold.
Leprechaun, leprechaun, come get the gold.
Eat some cereal, drink some tea.
Leprechaun, leprechaun, visit with me.
I promise not to
keep you for more than just a spell.
My mother wouldn't let me, so it's just as well.
Leprechauns, leprechauns, where do you dwell?
Leprechauns, leprechauns, elves, and trolls.
I think you live on grassy knolls.
Leprechauns,
leprechauns everywhere.
Leprechauns, leprechauns in my hair.
On my foot and near my ear
Leprechaun, leprechaun, see you next year!
Top Of The
Morning To You
(Sung to the
tune of: "Home On The Range")
Oh top of the

Where the leprechauns dance all around
St. Patrick is here
And we're as happy as can be
Oh, Happy St. Patrick's to you!
Can You Catch
A Leprechaun?
(Sung to tune
of" Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star")
Can you catch a
leprechaun?
Hurry, quick or he'll be gone!
Just when you are getting near
The leprechaun will disappear.
Can you catch a leprechaun?
Hurry, quick or he'll be gone!
St. Patrick's
Day Song
(Sung to the
tune of: "Mary Had A Little Lamb")
I'm looking for a
leprechaun,
leprechaun, leprechaun.
I'm looking for a leprechaun,
Do you know where he's gone?
He wears a suit
that's made of green,
Made of green, made of green.
He wears a suit that's made of green,
Do you know where he's gone?
He lives by a
rainbow and hides his gold,
Hides his gold, hides his gold.
He lives by a rainbow and hides his gold,
Do you know where he's gone?
If you see a
leprechaun,
Leprechaun, leprechaun.
If you see a leprechaun,
Please tell me where he's gone!
Leprechauns
(Sung to the
tune of: "Three Blind Mice")
Leprechauns,
leprechauns,
Hiding here, hiding there,
They don't want us to see them play,
Every year on St. Patrick's Day.
See them smile in their cute little way,
Leprechauns, leprechauns.
Five Little
Leprechauns
Five little
leprechauns playing in the sun.
The first one said, “Oh, my! We’re having fun!”
The second one said, “We need to spread some joy!”
The third one said, “Let’s find some girls and boys.”
The fourth one said, “There’s gold to be found!”
The fifth one said, “Let’s look all around!”
Then out came a rainbow, shining bright and bold.
So, five little leprechauns ran to find some gold!
Wee Little
Patrick
(Sung to the
tune of: "Yankee Doodle")
Patrick is a
leprechaun
He has a sack of gold
He hides it in a special place
Between two stumps, I'm told
I think I once saw Patrick
Out in the woods at play
He smiled and laughed and winked his eye
And then he ran away
Don't try to follow Patrick
To find his treasure sack
He'll twist and jump and run away
And he never will come back.
Five Wee
Leprechauns
Five wee leprechauns
scurrying by my door,
One jumped away, then there were 4.
Four wee leprechauns climbing in my tree,
One hid in the green leaves, then there were 3.
Three wee leprechauns, just a busy few,
One went for a pot of gold, then there were 2.
Two wee leprechauns, having lots of fun,
One hopped over the rainbow, then there was 1.
One wee leprechaun, with all his work done.
He slipped off for a nap, then there was 0.
