Tune: I'm a Little Teapot
I'm a little leprechaun short and stout.
Look at my top hat and hear me shout.

| Simple as this, now let the tapping begin! |
*Stallone Tested and Approved: Stallone loved moving and shaking! We had to play our "St. Patrick's Day"song at least three times or more...it was not very long! I did have to put an extra strip of tap along the quarters to make them more secure, but it was very fun!! We both enjoyed it!
