When you see the little man, oh when you see his face.
You’ll go to catch him, and over the hills you’ll race
And if you catch the little brute tell him this
“You give me three wishes and I’ll let ya go”
But if he’s a wise one, he’ll say “no”
If you want those wishes just threaten him with a knife or sooth him with your fife
He’ll have to shout “alright” in fright or pure delight
Now don’t waste wishes, wish for gold to treasure and hold
If you’re young wish for a spouse, if old wish for a big, rich house
Lastly you might want something that will last, like long life or a good hunting knife
But make sure you don’t call forth a fourth
For even a wish very small will make you lose them all
If you survive all this, you may want to keep the leprechaun to show some friends
But be mindful of his magic for he can trick your head
