Leprechaun

Leprechaun Leprechaun

all dressed in green.

You must be two-foot tall

     and mean.

Catch him, Catch him

don't let him go.

He's a little sly fellow

with a pot of gold.

Ireland be his home,

a darn old scott, that's what he be.

A mischievous elf, so be prepared

if you dare, to snare him.

He'll bribe you, with a coin.

Then once he's gone, it will turn to stone.

Trickery is his game, don't turn your back

for a second, or he'll leave you

  being the darn fool.
