Oh, once upon a summer's eve,
I wondered what my eyes did see,
For there upon my window sill,
Sat a leprechaun atop the pepper mill.

He smiled at me, trilled "Howdy do!,
I've come to grant a wish for you!"
He spun around--vanished out of sight,
"Think of a wish--I'll be back tonight!"

I hemmed and hawed 'til I turned blue,
Not knowing just quite what to do,
'Twas difficult to believe,
A leprechaun had come this summer's eve.

He smiled at me, trilled, "Howdy do!
I've come to grant a wish for you!"
The clock struck twelve--he cast a spell,
and flew me to the fairy wishing well.

I closed my eyes and made a wish,
The world spun 'round and with a swish,
I whirled through space in time untold
To the rainbow's end and the pot of gold.

He smiled at me, trilled "Howdy do!
The wish you've made has now come true!
If ever you have need of me,
Just close your eyes and count to three!"

Oh, once upon a summer's eve,
I wondered what my eyes did see,
For there upon my window sill,
Sat a leprechaun atop the pepper mill.
