5 Green Shamrocks

March 10, 2023 by ajpassey Leave a Comment

Five Green Shamrocks

One green shamrock in the morning dew,
Another one sprouted and then there were two.

Two green shamrocks growing under a tree,
Another one sprouted and then there were three.

Three green shamrocks by the cottage door,
Another one sprouted and then there were four.

Four green shamrocks near a beehive,
Another one sprouted and then there were five.

Five green shamrocks soaking up the sun,
Then sharing luck and joy with everyone.

The Leprechaun Song

(Tune: “Frere Jaques“)

Are you hiding?
Are you hiding?

Leprechaun?
Leprechaun?

I’m searching for a rainbow.
Searching for a rainbow.

Leprechaun.
Leprechaun.

Instrumental version of “Frere Jacques“

5 Little Leprechauns

Five Little Leprechauns

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!

Five Little Leprechauns

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

I’m a Little Leprechaun

(Tune: “I’m a Little Teapot“)

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.

Instrumental music for I’m a Little Teapot.
