O, fiddle dee, diddle dee, catch and riddle me,
Quick or I'll be gone;
Fiddle dee, diddle dee, catch and riddle me,
I'm a leprechaun. I'm a leprechaun.
O-o-o. Way back in Ireland in days of yore,
There lived a wee man seldom seen anymore;
He stood six inches high
and he was always dressed in green,
A master of magic all the best ever seen;
Wearing silver buckles, tiny golden bells,
He would go singing through the dell.
O, fiddle dee, diddle dee, catch and riddle me,
Quick or I'll be gone;
Fiddle dee, diddle dee, catch and riddle me,
I'm a leprechaun.
O, fiddle dee, diddle dee, catch and riddle me,
Quick or I'll be gone;
Fiddle dee, diddle dee, catch and riddle me,
I'm a leprechaun. I'm a leprechaun.
O-o-o. Now when I was a boy
more than once I was told,
About this leprechaun and his pot of gold;
Yes, golden sovereigns and more than this,
If you could catch the leprechaun,
he'd grant you a wish;
But catching this little man was hard I fear,
Whenever he was seen
he would always disappear.
O, fiddle dee, diddle dee, catch and riddle me,
Quick or I'll be gone;
Fiddle dee, diddle dee, catch and riddle me,
I'm a leprechaun.
O, fiddle dee, diddle dee, catch and riddle me,
Quick or I'll be gone;
Fiddle dee, diddle dee, catch and riddle me,
I'm a leprechaun. I'm a leprechaun.
O-o-o. Now you can say I was drunk,
you can call me a liar,
But one night out in the woods,
yes, I saw a fire;
And I thought I'd go wee closer
and have a little peep,
Slowly through woods I started to creep;
To my surprise around the fire,
dancing in the rain,
Was a score of little leprechauns,
and I heard 'em sing:
O, fiddle dee, diddle dee, catch and riddle me,
Quick or I'll be gone;
Fiddle dee, diddle dee, catch and riddle me,
I'm a leprechaun.
O, fiddle dee, diddle dee, catch and riddle me,
Quick or I'll be gone;
Fiddle dee, diddle dee, catch and riddle me,
I'm a leprechaun. I'm a leprechaun.
O-o-o. I thought I'd wait
until they finished their fun,
And when they'd gone to sleep
then maybe I'd catch me one;
All tired from dancing,
they laid down by a log,
So I crept up and I caught one,
but he turned into a frog;
He was all wet and slippery,
from me hands he did spring,
As he hopped through the woods
I could hear him sing:
O, fiddle dee, diddle dee, catch and riddle me,
Quick or I'll be gone;
Fiddle dee, diddle dee, catch and riddle me,
I'm a leprechaun.
O, fiddle dee, diddle dee, catch and riddle me,
Quick or I'll be gone;
Fiddle dee, diddle dee, catch and riddle me,
I'm a leprechaun.
O, fiddle dee, diddle dee, catch and riddle me,
Quick or I'll be gone;
Fiddle dee, diddle dee, catch and riddle me,
I'm a leprechaun. I'm a leprechaun.
