Once there was a leprechaun (hold hand at knee height)
Who lived just down the road (point down the road)
If you could ever catch him (grab at air)
Then you could get his gold! (hold hands around invisible pot)

Once I almost caught him (snap fingers)
One fine St. Patrick's Day (shake finger and head)
But he threw some magic dust on me (throw imaginary dust)
And then he got away! (open palms to show empty hands)
