The Leprechaun Song 
In a shady nook, one moonlit night, a leprechaun I spied With a scarlet cap and coat of green, a cruisc'n by his side 'Twas "tic, tac tic" his hammer went, upon a tiny shoe I laughed to think of a purse of gold, but the fairy was laughing too. 
With tiptoe step and beating heart, softly I drew nigh There was mischief in his merry face, a twinkle in his eye He hammered and sang with his tiny voice, and drank his mountain dew I laughed to think he was caught at last, but the fairy was laughing too. 
As quick as thought I seized the elf, "Your fairy purse!" I cried "The purse," he said, "is in the hand of the lady by your side" I turned to look, the elf was gone, then what was I to do? I laughed to think what a fool I'd been, but the fairy was laughing too.
