Lucky Leprechaun
Lucky little leprechaun went out St. Patrick’s Day.

Singing such a happy song as he went on his way.

Searching for the rainbow a treasure might be found.

He clapped his hands and jumped for joy, the gold was all around.

Oh, dance a jig an irish jig, upon St. Patrick’s Day.

Dance like little leprechaun, a singing on his way.

Clap your hands and jump for joy and sing a happy song,

Just like a little leprechaun.
