NOTES [49 words]: According to Averill, this is derived from an older song, "Leprechaun." Given that there are several songs which have, or could be referred to as having, that name, it's not clear which one she means. And she nowhere else refers to "Leprechaun," even though it apparently was sung in camps. - RBW
