Have you ever seen a leprechaun

Little green hat and boots so brown

Have you ever seen a leprechaun

Can you catch one sneakin' around

 

He's got a secret pot of gold

Hiding at the end of a rainbow

And you can try to find it but you'll never win

Get a four leaf clover and try again

 

Have you ever seen a leprechaun

Tiny little trickster from Ireland

Have you ever seen a leprechaun

            Maybe just maybe you can make him your friend
