Icity Dickity Splickity Splay

ickity dickity splickity mertickity splay
Homer and Oscar have both had a persnickety day
They are dancing a swiggle wiggle jig, heading my way
I love watching these identical leprechauns on St. Patrick’s day

ickity dickity splickity mertickity blarney climbs out of the clay
March 17th is the yearly utmost happiness day for enchanted fey
eve rainbow is shining on us with leprechaun’s magic spray
Toodlie oodlie ooh dance is presented by Fannie O’Shay

ickity dickity splickity mertickity forms a new blue jay
Don’t you know that emerald is the color of this magic Irish Thursday?
The bird hops off without commenting, a tail feather sashay
reach for corned beef and cabbage, off an Irishman’s tray.

The Dubliners are heading out the backdoor toward the bay
Harmonizing the best they can with a high ho ho hig hey!
Is it always this much fun here? Asks a visitor from Monterey
had to tell him a ring tail truth, for he is not Irish, Okay?
