St. Patrick's Day Songs

I'm a Little Leprechaun

Music: "I'm a little teapot"

I'm a little leprechaun

Dressed in green,

The tiniest man

That you ever seen.

If you ever catch me, it is told,

I'll give you my pot of gold!

St. Patrick's Day

St. Patrick came from Ireland A country trimmed with green

It has the shamrocks and the pipes Those leprechauns you've seen Those leprechauns will trip you

You'll fall flat on your face They'll tickle your nose and sour the milk

Then find a hiding place!

Name ___________________________ Date _______________



The Leprechauns are Marching

The Leprechauns are marching, They're marching down the hall, They're marching on the ceiling, They're marching on the wall. They're marching two by two,

And now it's four by four, You say you still can't see them?

Move back! Here come some more!

The leprechauns are marching, I think it's three by three.

Just close your eyes and try now To visualize with me. Their merry little feet

Will never miss a beat. They're very tricky fellows.

Look out! They're under the sheet!

Leprechaun

Leprechaun, leprechaun, fly across the sea

And fetch an emerald shamrock for you and me. Do not bring a nettle or a thistle for a joke,

But bring an Irish shamrock, for we are Irish folk. And you and I, my leprechaun, will wear the shamrock gay,

And match it with and Irish smile upon St.Patrick's Day!

The Wearin' O' the Green

Today is the day fer the wearin' o' the green. Today is the day when the little people are seen. Today is St. Patrick's Day, so if ye'r Irish me lad,

Join the celebratin' fer the grandest time ta' be had.

Ya' put yer hand up in the air, the other hand on your hip. Ya' tap yer toe, ya' tap yer heel, ya' bounce yer knee a wee bit. Ya' prance 'n dance around the room, n' circle one two three. The saints be praised, I must admit, ya' all look Irish ta' me.
