Song #1: I’m a Little Leprechaun

(To the tune of “I’m a Little Teapot”)

I’m a little leprechaun, short and spry,
Here is my hat, and here is my tie.
When you hear my giggle, look and see,
I’ve hidden gold at the rainbow’s tree!

I’m a little leprechaun, clever and quick,
I love to play games and tricks so slick.
If you want my treasure, here’s a clue:
Follow the rainbow, it’s waiting for you!

Song #2: My Four-Leaf Clover

(To the tune of “You Are My Sunshine”)

I found a clover, a four-leaf clover,
Out in the meadow, so green and bright.
It brings me laughter, it brings me wonder,
It fills my heart with pure delight.

Oh, little clover, my lucky clover,
You are so special, a rare surprise.
I’ll always keep you, my little treasure,
You shine like stars up in the skies.

Song #3: Pot of Gold, Come Shine for Me

(To the tune of “Shoo Fly, Don’t Bother Me”)

Pot of gold, come shine for me,
Pot of gold, come shine for me,
Pot of gold, come shine for me,
At the rainbow’s end!

Golden coins, so bright and true,
Rainbow colors guiding you,
Catch the magic, hold it tight,
Your wildest dreams come to light!

Song #4: Catchin’ A Leprechaun

(To the tune of “Frosty the Snowman”)

Catchin’ a leprechaun,
Is a tricky thing to do,
With his hat of green and his eyes so keen,
He’ll escape if you’re not true!

He skips through the meadow,
With a twinkle in his eye,
And his pot of gold is a sight to behold,
But it’s hidden in the sky.

Oh, follow the rainbow trail,
It’s shining bright and bold,
But beware his laugh as he dashes past,
Guarding all his gold.

Catchin’ a leprechaun,
You’ll need a clever plan,
Set a trap with a treat so sweet,
Like a cookie or a flan.

With a net or a box,
Or a shiny four-leaf clover,
But be quick and sly, or he’ll wave goodbye,
And the chase will start all over!

Oh, he’ll say “You’ll never win!”
With a grin so wide,
But if you stay sharp and don’t lose heart,
You just might catch his prize.

Catchin’ a leprechaun,
It’s the greatest game to play,
For if you succeed, you’ll find indeed,
That Luck is yours today!

Song #5: A Rainbow on St. Patrick’s Day

(To the tune of “On Top of Old Smokey”)

On top of the rainbow,
So high in the sky,
There’s treasure that’s waiting,
For you and for I.

Oh follow the rainbow,
To where it may bend,
You might find the gold there,
Or luck without end.

On St. Patrick’s morning,
We’ll shout and we’ll cheer,
For love and good fortune,
That lasts through the year.
