Lyrics:
Verse A1 I walked to the farmer’s market And cut through his massive woods I didn’t bring a rifle although I know I should Verse B1 The woods are deep and dangerous Where hungry creatures hide, abound This day I saw an elf-like one When there was no one else around Verse A2 Yes I came upon this tiny man, smiley and green He talked in riddles was the weirdest thing I’d ever seen Verse B2 So I stared at him behind a tree Surprised I couldn’t believe my eyes I recognized him from the books I read when I was just his size Bridge He rustled his shiny, derby hat as I watched him quietly But I tripped upon a fallen log He turned wryly as he noticed me Swinging his tail he danced around a bush And said how do you do Refrain Do know what I am and where I’m from And do you know what I can do (Pause) And then he burst into a song it’s got to be a Leprechaun Chorus Catch that little Leprechaun he’s got lucky charms He’ll grant you 3 free wishes don’t let him come to harm He’ll bring you luck; show you where he hides his pot of gold I fancy being rich you know and never growing old (short instrumental)…(pause)…(intro) Verse A3 He said his name was Mick Drink-A-Lick But his brogue was rich and thick And that moniker it sounded like Some clever sort of trick Verse B3 But I didn’t want blow to my only chance at immortality Although it sounded like a ruse I bowed to his banality Bridge (5/4 time) (Spinning his tail….) (Again) he jumped and flipped and pursed his lips (Then spun) and danced a feisty Irish jig and (Quickly) landed on my stumbling log (About) a meter from my hurting leg (He humbly) introduced me to his friend (Who stood a) half of a deck (“dec”?) and a step behind a (Portly) bearded Gaelic gentleman who (Wearily) looked to be the drinking kind Refrain He asked me then how old I was I told him I was 35 He twitched his brow, grinned, scratched his chin Then winked and looked me in the eye (short pause) Yes then he burst into a song he’s got to be a Leprechaun Chorus Yes, I’m a bloody Leprechaun you’ll find my pot of gold If you say my name without a syllable of Irish brogue I said that can’t be true my friend it’s blarney, Celtic brawn It couldn’t be that easy or your pot would be all gone (short Instrumental)….(pause) (long instrumental #1) Spoken: Leprechauns don’t have tails But hey wear top hats and tails Oh…and they’re not real, are they? Leprechauns don’t have tails! Chorus Verse C1 (just like chorus) Look Mr. Mick Drink-A-Lick I said it with a smile In perfect English diction with vanity and guile You heard me say clearly now where’s that pot of gold My first of the 3 wishes is I’m never growing old Verse B4 They both then laughed the secret was about to be revealed (He said) You see I bet this man from Dublin which of us would buy the beer Chorus Verse C2 (just like chorus) He said I’d have to get someone to say this stupid name I said I’d have to find an Englishman gullible and lame Verse B5 But if you’d buy all week I’d do one better more and surely find you one Whose 35 years old a man who still believes in Leprechauns Chorus Catch that little Leprechaun he’s got lucky charms He’ll grant you 3 free wishes don’t let him come to harm He’ll bring you luck & show you where he hides his pot of gold I fancy being rich you know and never growing old Watch that phony Leprechaun keep him in your sights He’ll make a fool of any Englishman and get us all free pints You’ve got to love a man like that love him like a son Always mixing people up with frivolity and fun (short Instrumental)….(pause) (long instrumental #2) Spoken: Leprechauns don’t have tails Maybe real Leprechauns have tails Leprechauns don’t have tails! ..they tell them (or do they?)
