Leprechauns shaking shillelaghs
As the leper cons say pay me
Butterflies in disguise as they spin their lies
Spiders trickling down
To steal the crown
Attempting to replace the spookdom
With their dukedom
Electrifying the populace
With their malice
To fill their coffers from our chalice
Just to feel valid
