Lyrics:
I long to see the heather
On Erin?s Emerald Isle
I?d like to meet a Leprechaun
Then sit and chat a while
I?d walk with him through purple fields
Where upon the Heather grows,
And charm him with my Irish smile
Till he tells me what he knows
I?d sing to him the Irish tunes
As they were taught to me
And when he fell within my spell
I?d grab him tight you see
Then he?d have to tell me
Where the hidden treasure lies
For if he did not tell me
He would shrivel up and die
Next section done in a round:
Chorus: Onerous little Leprechaun
Haven?t you been told?
The treasures of an Irish heart
Are worth more than gold
Chorus: Onerous little Leprechaun
Haven?t you been told?
The treasures of an Irish heart
Are worth more than gold
Chorus: Onerous little Leprechaun
Haven?t you been told?
The treasures of an Irish heart
Are worth more than gold
