The Leprechaun Song

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

March 10, 2023 by ajpassey Leave a Comment

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

(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.

Five Brave Knights (Teasing Mr. Dragon)

5 Brave Knights (Teasing Mr. Dragon)

Five brave knights
On a castle wall
Teasing Mr. Dragon
“You can’t catch us all!
No, you can’t catch us all!”

Along flies Mr. Dragon
With a mighty call
Then snatched that knight
Right off the castle wall.

Four brave knights
On a castle wall
Teasing Mr. Dragon
“You can’t catch us all!
No, you can’t catch us all!”

Along flies Mr. Dragon
With a mighty call
Then snatched that knight
Right off the castle wall.

Three brave knights
On a castle wall
Teasing Mr. Dragon
“You can’t catch us all!
No, you can’t catch us all!”

Along flies Mr. Dragon
With a mighty call
Then snatched that knight
Right off the castle wall.

Two brave knights
On a castle wall
Teasing Mr. Dragon
“You can’t catch us all!
No, you can’t catch us all!”

Along flies Mr. Dragon
With a mighty call
Then snatched that knight
Right off the castle wall.

One brave knight
On a castle wall
Teasing Mr. Dragon
“You can’t catch us all!
No, you can’t catch us all!”

Along flies Mr. Dragon
With a mighty call
Then snatched that knight
Right off the castle wall.
