St Patrick’s Day! March 17th (Sweet Molly Malone)

On the 17th of March           (Point heels on opposite feet as if
About when spring starts      doing a jig.)
The lassies and leprechauns
Come out to play.

We’ll find four-leafed clovers     (Hold up 4 fingers.)
And wear green all over,           (Move hands over clothing.)
And that’s how we’ll celebrate   (Put hand in the air as if cheering.)
St. Patrick’s Day!

The legends of old
Say there’re pots of gold           (Extend arms in a circle.)
A’ sparkling and shining            (Open and close fingers
At each rainbow’s end.               to make sparkles.)

The leprechauns know             (Point to brain.)
Right where to go,
So if you see a leprechaun      (Hand over eyes as if searching for
Make him your friend!                a leprechaun.)

On the 17th of March
About when spring starts
The lassies and leprechauns
Come out to play.

We’ll find four-leafed clovers
And wear green all over,
And that’s how we’ll celebrate
St. Patrick’s Day!
