I'm gonna get you!

"I'm gonna get you"
the mental note scribbled
O’er and o’er again in me head
As the light flickered above of the bed

Many a night has been passed in vein
Plotting and planning driving insane
“I’m gonna get you! If it’s the last thing I do”
Another new drawing on the sketch board I drew

The plans, so intricate and cleverly made
The first trap: a fake parade!
And when you come out to greet the crowd
Your lovely pot o’gold I would come down
Swinging on a rope, from the tallest float
That’s the way I’ll get your goat!

The parade was in full swing,
You waved and waved and started to sing
Now under the dark bridge we started to pass
That’s when I felt the rope, stuck to me ass!

Foiled again, by my own misfortunes
Why do you leprechauns have so much luck?!
Why’d the rope have to get stuck?!

"I'm gonna get you"
the mental note scribbled
O’er and o’er again in me head
As the light flickered above of the bed

Many a night has been passed in vein
Plotting and planning driving insane
“I’m gonna get you! If it’s the last thing I do”
Another new drawing on the sketch board I drew

So what will it take this time around?
Well certainly you’d trust a clown
Into costume and character I went
This time I crawled into your vent

And again the fates, they spit on me
For your air-conditioning turned cold on knee
Such luck I lack, knee frozen to the duct
It will take hours to get unstuck

"I'm gonna get you"
the mental note scribbled
O’er and o’er again in me head
As the light flickered above of the bed

Many a night has been passed in vein
Plotting and planning driving insane
“I’m gonna get you! If it’s the last thing I do”
Another new drawing on the sketch board I drew

In the morning, my phone rang
It was my friends from the ACME gang
They had a new device- un yet tested
Perhaps technology used won’t get me arrested

It came in a box ever so shiny
It came in a box ever so tiny
Radiating success and intelligence too
This time aroud “I’m gonna get you!”

Now I’m sitting here, rolling in gold
Because the decoy you have, you now hold
A tiny leprechaunette is all you have
And you paid every gold coin for this scandalous mave
But when the cops came prying around
They believed me not, you were nowhere to be found

My gold is buried 6 feet beneath the ground
Just close enough to the leprechaun town
I’m sitting behind rubber bars
In a padded room too
Just because I tried- succeeded- and outsmarted you
Strangely enough you’ve won the battle
And as soon as I get out, your security I’ll rattle

For we are enemies, draw together by fate
And I will never wipe clean this bitter slate
I am the coyote and you are the road runner
Only you say a lot more than just “meep meep”
