Note to recorder:

Storybook written by Adam Wallace. I can't find an audio version.

The night is dark, the streets are quiet, ST. PATRICK'S DAY is near.
I tap my hammer so you'll know the Leprechaun is here!
I'll put out my laces, put GLITTER in your hair.
And when you walk around, you'll see my GOLD coins everywhere.
You'll never catch me in your trap, but, yes, I'll make a scene!
I'll turn the whole place upside down. Your toilet will be GREEN!
House number one. I'm going in! Really ? That's your trap?
I'm in and out, without a doubt. That one was a SNAP!
And now I think it's getting worse. A shoebox on a stick?
Il''l dance a JIG and still escape. We Leprechauns are quick!
Another house. I fixed your shoes! They really were quite SMELLY.
I'll eat the nuts you left as bait and leave with a full belly.
Now you're talking! Look at this. It's dandelion tea!
But I'm too speedy for your trap. This tea is mine for free!
I know you want my pot of gold. That IRON CAGE was clever.
But I've been alive 200 years. You won't catch me ever!
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
Now you're getting fancy! But I'll escape with twinkle toes.
It's a fancy pantsy dancy!
It seems to me an engineer has helped with this design.
Too bad this little Leprechaun is going to be just fine.
You entire house is ONE BIG TRAP, from the ceiling to the floor.
Nice try, indeed! But soon enough, I'll stroll right out the door!
The LEPRECHAUN BE GONE 3000 gave me quite a scare.
But without a four-leaf-clover, I won't be caught in there!
You'll never catch this Leprechaun. Impossible! That's a fact!
Unless, one day, a brilliant child designs THE PERFECT TRAP!
But who will that child be?
Better luck next year!
