Celtic Christmas Elf Marc Gunn

Ho ho! Merry Christmas with a rat-ta-ta-tum
The presents we make will bring joy to children
Santa’s smiling and stroking his beard with his thumb
Come celebrate Christmas with me, with me!
Come celebrate Christmas with me!

Twas a fortnight following St. Patrick’s Day
When across the thin veil the Leprechauns came
To Shebeg and Sheemore to dance with the fae
To join the fine craic until morning

Ol’ Lucky was sitting and drinking stout brew
When in walked two elves with green hats and red shoes
He smilеd and said, “Why! How do you do?
Pull a seat up and drink here with mе.”

The larger elf said, “Let me buy you a beer
T’was a great Paddy’s Day from all that I hear!”
The other elf added, “I’ve a secret to share
Just listen and the next round’s on me.”

Lucky drank his first pint while singing a song
The second pint came as he was feeling quite strong
But the shot of hot whiskey, made him feel all wrong
That’s when the elves began to speak
