SAINT PATRICK' S DAY SONGS

I'm a little Leprechaun. Tune: I'm a Little Teapot 

I'm a little leprechaun short and stout.
Look at my top hat and hear me shout.
when I get all excited, listen to me dear.
St. Patrick's Day is now right here.

The shamrock song!

Find a shamrock green and small you might end up with a pot-o-gold.
Find a shamrock green and small you might end up with a leprechaun.

Five little leprechauns all wearing green (click to download the leprechauns)

The first one said, what do you bring.
The second one  said is St Patrick’s day
The third  one said lets begin to play
The fourth  one said lets ran and be bold The fifth one said but do not touch my gold.
Clink clink  they hear a sound and the five leprechauns ran off with a bound

The Leprechaun Song (sung to Mary Had a Little Lamb)

I'm a little leprechaun leprechaun leprechaun I'm a little leprechaun Who likes to hide my gold.

I dress in green from head to toe head to toe head to toe I dress in green from head to toe I wear green all day long!

You'll never catch me or my gold not my gold not my gold You'll never catch me or my gold I hide it much too well!

 

Eensy Weensy Leprechaun
An eenay weeny leprechaun
Came out for St. Patrick's Day
To look for the gold
that was hidden far away
over the rainbow
was where he was told
So, with a wink of his green eye
He ran to get the gold

The Leprechaun (Fingerplay)

A leprechaun is small and green,

(Use hand to indicate a small person.)

He hides where he cannot be seen.

(Cover eyes with hands.)

But if you catch one on this day,

(Shake finger.)

He must give his gold away.

 

FIVE LITTLE SHAMROCKS Click to download the shamrocks.

1 green shamrock, in the morning dew,

Another one sprouted, and then there were two.

2 green shamrocks, growing beneath a tree;

Another one sprouted and then there were three.

3 green shamrocks, by the cottage door;

Another one sprouted,

And then there were four.

4 green shamrocks, near a beehive

Another one sprouted,

And then there were five.

5 little shamrocks, bright and emerald green,

Think of all the luck these shamrocks will bring.

I do not remember where I got this one from but the kids love it.

 

Leprechaun stew, Leprechaun stew,

If I don't get some,

I don't know what I'll do.

Give away my pot of gold

Give away my shoe.

But don't give away my Leprechaun Stew.
