A Leprechaun All Small and Green

Adapted by Jolanda Garcia, KidsSoup, Inc.

A leprechaun all small and green,
he hides his gold so it can’t be seen.
If you see a rainbow on St. Patrick’s Day,
Follow it and he has to give it all away.

Leprechaun, leprechaun,
Reach up high.

Turn around.

Show your shoe.

Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple
Colors of the rainbow, colors so bright.
Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple
Colors of the rainbow, a colorful sight.

Rainbow
Sung to: "Hush, Little Baby"

Rainbow purple, rainbow blue
Rainbow green and yellow, too
Rainbow orange, rainbow red
Rainbow smiling (appearing) overhead.

Great Big Rainbow
Sung to: "I'm a Little Teapot"
by Jean Warren

There's a great, big rainbow
In the sky,
With pretty colors
Way up high.

When it starts to rain
And the sun comes out-
A beautiful rainbow
Will pop out!

Pretty Rainbow
by Jean Warren 

Rainbow, rainbow in the sky, 
Pretty colors up so high. 
Oh, I wish that it would stay
Bringing color everyday.
