5 little leprechauns standing in a row.
One fell down and hurt his toe.
4 little leprechauns climbing up a tree.
One slipped down while spying on me.
3 little leprechauns dancing in the sun.
One sat down and ended all the fun.
2 little leprechauns sing an Irish song.
One wandered off, his voice still strong.
1 little leprechaun guarding all the gold
Fell right asleep and I felt bold.
I crept to his cave as he began to snore.
I snatched up the gold and ran out the door!
5 little leprechauns standing in a row.
5 little leprechauns looking for gold.
A rainbow appeared and led the way
And one little leprechaun danced away.
4 little leprechauns standing in a row.
4 little leprechauns looking for gold.
A rainbow appeared and led the way
And one little leprechaun danced away.
3 little leprechauns standing in a row.
3 little leprechauns looking for gold.
A rainbow appeared and led the way
And one little leprechaun danced away.
2 little leprechauns standing in a row.
2 little leprechauns looking for gold.
A rainbow appeared and led the way
And one little leprechaun danced away.
1 little leprechaun standing in a row.
1 little leprechaun looking for gold.
A rainbow appeared and led the way
And the last little leprechaun danced away.
I’m a little leprechaun
Dressed in green.
The tiniest man
You have ever seen.
If you ever catch me, so it’s told,
I’ll give to you my pot of gold.

Turn around once and swing your dragon tail.
Turn around twice, flap your wings and shake your scales.
Turn around three times, stomp your feet and roar.
Jump up high then sit down on the floor.
(Tune: “I’m a Little Teapot”)
I’m a little dragon, strong and stout.
Here is my tail and here is my snout.
If I get upset, you better watch out!
I’ll roar, and shout, and stomp about.

Over the hills and far away

Only four little dragons came roaring back.
