“Leprechaun Finder” Song, by Miss Mary

I’m looking, looking, looking for a leprechaun.
Looking, looking, looking for a leprechaun.
Looking, looking, looking for a leprechaun,
Can you please tell me where he has gone?

He’s very, very, tiny and he’s dressed in green.
Very, very, tiny, and he’s dressed in green.
Very, very, tiny and he’s dressed in green,
He’s really, really, fast but he isn’t mean!
