St Patrick’s Day heralds the arrival of spring – everything about it is so optimistic with colourful rainbows, pots of gold, mischievous fairies and a lot of emerald green! Here are two little Leprechaun Songs – perfect for celebrating St Patrick’s Day with kids.
The Magic Leprechaun Song
Who’s the little man in the su-it of green?
A funny little man that I’ve just seen,
Who’s the little man in a su-it of green?
A magic little leprechaun!
*
Where does the leprechaun go?
With a skip and a hop and a he–igh ho!
Where does the leprechaun go?
To the e-nd of the ra-inbow!
*
Where does he ke-ep all his gold?
In a pot, so I’ve been told,
Where does he ke-ep all his gold?
At the e-nd of the ra-inbow!

The Little Leprechaun Song
There was a little leprechaun,
In a big top hat,
They say that he was magic,
Well goodness fancy that!
He like collecting coins of gold,
And kept them in a pot,
And hid them far away,
So that he could keep the lot!
*
That naughty little leprechaun,
Would always run away,
You couldn’t try to catch him,
He really wouldn’t stay,
So if you see a leprechaun,
Running down the hill,
You must always try to catch him,
And of course, I know that you will!
(sing to the same tune as 5 Shiny Conkers)
