COME CLOSER, GATHER AROUND
LET ME TELL YOU A STORY ABOUT A TIN-WHISTLE I FOUND
IT WAS ALL IN GOLD AND IT SHIMMERS AROUND
I BEGAN TO PLAY AND WAS AMAZED BY THE SOUND

IT MADE EVERYTHING AROUND ME TO MOVE
BY THIS WHISTLE I CAN MAKE MYSELF TO PROVE
FOR EVERYONE THAT IGNORED BE BEFORE
I WILL MAKE THEM SCREAM FOR MORE

I'M THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN WHISTLE IN HIS HAND
MAKES EVERYONE DANCE OF JOY ALL AROUND
MAKES YOU SCREAM AND MOVE LIKE NEVER BEFORE
AND YOU WILL ONLY ASK FOR MORE
I'LL MAKE TEAR DOWN THESE WALLS IF YOU CAN
JUST TO HEAR ME PLAY ONCE AGAIN

THE NIGHT FELL, DARKNESS ALL AROUND
I FELL ASLEEP WITH THE WHISTLE IN MY HAND
WITH NO SENSE LEFT IN MY HEAD
I STARTED TO DREAM OF ALL THE FAME I COULD COLLECT

WHEN I WOKE UP, A SMALL THING WAS THERE
WITH A GREEN SUIT AND A RED BEARD FROM EAR TO EAR
HE LOOKED AT ME AND SMILED WHEN HE SAID:

"I'M THIS OWNER OF THIS WHISTLE IN YOUR HAND
I HAVE KEPT IT FOR YEARS TO GARD IT AS WELL
YOU HAVE STOLEN FROM ME AND I WILL MAKE YOU PAY"

I RAN AWAY, AS FAST I COULD
OUT FROM THE FORREST, OUT FROM THESE WOODS
I WILL NEVER RETURN, I WILL NEVER LOOK BACK
BY THE TALE OF A LEPRECHAUN WE ALL KNOW ABOUT
