I'm a Little Leprechaun
(Tune of I'm a Little Teapot)

I'm a little leprechaun
(hands on hips)

Dressed in green,
(point to shirt)

The tiniest man
(hold thumb and index finger about an inch apart)
That you have seen.
(point to the other people)
If you ever catch me, so it's told,
(make a motion like you're grabbing at a leprechaun)
I'll give you my big pot of gold.
(make a motion like you're giving something away)

Eensy Weensy Leprechaun

(itsy bitsy spider)

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!
