Three hundred years I've roamed this land Through emerald hills and clover
I've dodged the kings and fooled the saints A thousand times and
over But never in me ancient days Has any lad come near
To catching Lucky McFiddlesticks — Until I wandered here!
Oh, ELIAS! Oh, ELIAS!
The craftiest
wee lad I've known!
He set his traps by the windowsill And
nearly caught me bones!
So stomp your feet and clap your hands And dance around the
room For Lucky's gone but he left this song Beneath the Irish
moon! I crept in through the window crack As quiet as a
feather His little windows sparkled bright Like magic tied together I stopped
to stare — I couldn't move!
Mesmerized, I froze! That sneaky boy had tricked old Lucky Right beneath
me nose!
Oh, ELIAS! Oh, ELIAS!
The craftiest wee lad I've known!
He set his traps by the windowsill And nearly caught me bones!
So stomp your feet and clap your
hands And dance around the room For Lucky's gone but he left
this song Beneath the Irish moon!
Tip-tap-tippy on the floor!
Spin around and stomp some more!
Danny dance and Eli too!
Lucky's singing just for you!
One-two-three now jump up HIGH!
Wave your arms up to the sky!
Leprechauns from coast to coast Say ELIAS scared us most!
I've outrun wolves in Galway Bay And trolls beneath the bridges I've
raced the fairies through the fog Across the Wicklow ridges But when
that boy set up his trap With windows shining bright Old Lucky
barely slipped away Into the emerald night!
Oh, ELIAS!
Oh,
ELIAS! The bravest lad in all the land!
He nearly caught a leprechaun With nothing but his hands!
So stomp your feet and clap your hands And Danny dance along!
For Lucky's gone but he'll never forget The boy who earned this
song! Hee hee hee...
three hundred years... And a four-year-old nearly got me...
I'll be back next year,
Elias... If you're brave enough to catch me!
