If you ever get a chance,
to see the emerald isle.
You must stop by Casey's
as he'll make it all worthwhile.

For Casey is a Leprechaun,
and he spreads it on real thick.
But you must be very careful,
of his friend that they call Nick.

Together they are friendly,
but alone old nick is mean.
Just tell him if he harms you,
he'll never see Kathleen.

For Kathleen you see,
is going to be a queen.
And life there you see
is anything but serene.

The banshee's song goes on
upon the cliffs of moher.
And the brownies band togher
and sing of her golden hair.

The village folk are dancing
to the celtic tunes of old.
And eveyone is trying
to find the pot of gold.

The adventure you will have
may be beyond your dreams.
But everything around you
will sparkle for it gleams.
