"I'm a Little Leprechaun"
(Sung to the tune of "I'm a Little Teapot")
I'm a little leprechaun,
Dressed in green,
The tiniest man you've ever seen
If you ever catch me, it is told,
I'll give you my pot of gold!
The Eensy Weensy Leprechaun
(Sung to: "Eensy Weensy Spider")
An eensy, weensy leprechaun
came out St. Patrick's Day
to look for the gold
That was hidden far away.
Over the rainbow
was where he was told
so, with the wink of his green eye,
He ran for the gold.
