Lying green leprechaun

Verse 1
I was walking down the road one day
Mindin’ my business in a normal way
Then a tiny green dude with a crooked grin
Popped out a bush and started talkin’ again
He tipped his hat and said, “Hey lad, listen close to me
There’s a pot of gold where the rainbow meets the tree.”
His beard was shiny, shoes buckle-bright
And I thought, “Yeah… this seems legit tonight.”
Pre-Chorus
He said, “Follow the rainbow, don’t be slow
There’s treasure waitin’ where the colors glow.”
So I ran through fields like a fool on a quest
Dreamin’ about gold and early retirement at best.
Chorus
But that little green bastard lied to me
At the end of the rainbow, what did I see?
Not gold, not jewels, not shiny old bars
Just a bowl sittin’ there full of Lucky Charms
That little green bastard lied to me
Promised treasure by the rainbow tree
I chased that rainbow near and far
Just to find a bowl of Lucky Charms
Verse 2
I climbed a hill, I crossed a creek
I chased that rainbow for about a week
My legs were sore, my hopes were high
Dreamin’ about riches fallin’ from the sky
Then I reached the spot where the colors bend
Said, “This is it! The treasure at the end!”
But sitting there on a grassy farm
Was a cereal bowl full of Lucky Charms.
Pre-Chorus
Marshmallow moons, pink hearts, and stars
But none of it spendable at fancy bars
I looked around for my gold reward
Instead I got breakfast… I was floored.
Chorus
That little green bastard lied to me
At the end of the rainbow, what did I see?
Not gold, not jewels, not shiny old bars
Just a bowl sittin’ there full of Lucky Charms
That little green bastard lied to me
Promised treasure by the rainbow tree
I chased that rainbow near and far
Just to find a bowl of Lucky Charms
Bridge
Then I heard gigglin’ behind a rock
That tiny green dude was watchin’ the clock
He said, “Technically lad, I never said gold bars…
Those marshmallows right there are magically rare!”
I said, “Buddy, you better start runnin’ fast
Before I turn your hat into breakfast hash!”
Final Chorus
That little green bastard lied to me
At the end of the rainbow, what did I see?
A spoon, some milk, and cereal stars
In a bowl full of dang Lucky Charms
Yeah that little green bastard lied to me
But I shrugged and said, “Well… breakfast it’ll be.”
If you chase rainbows near and far
Sometimes you just get Lucky Charms.
