March 17th will soon be here
It’s the day for the wearing of the green
We do this to honor the Irish
And the leprechauns we have never seen.
They’re the little men so jolly and quick
You’ll find them near the end of the rainbow
They say it’s where you’ll find a ‘pot of gold”
Is this true, we really don’t know.
In Ireland St. Patrick is known for his goodness
For he made all snakes vanish from this land
It’s a fairy tale I’m sure but it is well known that.
You will find no snakes in ol’ Ireland.
I’m told that if you’re not wearing green
On this traditional Irish Day
That a leprechaun will sneak up behind you
And with one puff he’ll blow you away.
St. Patrick died in the year 461AD
On March 17th was the last he was seen
It doesn’t matters if you’re Irish or not
But to be safe, you’d better be wearing green.
