St. Patrick\u2019s Day lyrics are a fun thing to look into and use in your St. Patrick\u2019s Day celebrations. When you have a party, you can sing the songs, or teach them to kids in the classroom, etc. There are plenty of St. Patrick\u2019s Day songs you can sing, with various lyrics, some traditional songs, others spoofs sung to children\u2019s songs that embrace the customs and traditions commonly found in Ireland. Here are a few of the more popular choices:<\/p>\n
The first is about the leprechaun, known in legend to grant wishes, have pots of gold, and one that has to always tell the truth.<\/p>\n
The Wish<\/strong><\/p>\n I caught a little leprechaun,quite wise and very old and he said to me,\u00a0“You have one wish,would you like my pot of gold?” Here are the lyrics to a classic Irish song sun by Bing Crosby, and known well across the US and Ireland.<\/p>\n
\n“No thank you,” was my quick reply,”But how about another…A gift that’s truly precious and esteemed above all others?”
\nHe offered then some emeralds, rubies, sapphires, pearls and a host of other treasures that would make your senses whirl!
\nAs I rejected all his list his bright eyes flashed with fire and, angrily, he said to me:”What is it you desire?”
\nI said:
\n“A rainbow’s far more beautifult han its’ supposed treasure and the ‘rainbow’ that I’m wishing for is priceless beyond measure.
\n“I’d like to have the dearest friends a person ever had\u00a0to share in all the good times\u00a0and help me through the bad…
\n“To laugh and sing and joke with, love and appreciate as we live life’s greatest adventure that would certainly be great!”
\n“Oh, now I know you’re daft!” he said as he ran off with his pot…”to waste your wish on something you have already got!”-
