Скачать или смотреть Gift of the Gab: The Blarney Stone Song

Song by Jimmy K & JOS


Lyrics:

It’s four feet long
And one foot wide,
A limestone slab
Eighty-five feet high.

The story’s told:
If you kiss the slab,
You’ll be blessed with
The gift of the gab.

In the days of yore,
The legend stands;
Young Cormac McCarthy
Had to fight for his land.

The poor ould fella
Didn’t have the tone;
The Queen of the Banshees
Told him, “Kiss the stone.”

(She said)
“Head to the castle
And become king of the throne.
Turn upside down and kiss
The Blarney Stone.

Bend over backwards just like a crab,
Give the stone a kiss for the gift
Of the gab.
Bend over backwards for the girls or the lads,
And you’ll be blessed with the gift of the gab.”

He was lowered down with
A mighty grab.
A hAon, a Dò, a Trí—he was facing the slab.
He puckered it up and gave it one big kiss;
It’s a funny thing to be kissin’ a brick.

Well, it’s not just a brick
And it’s not just a slab;
It’s a magical stone that gives the
Gift of the gab.

The court was in session;
It was a hell of a fight.
McCarthy spoke words
That made the old queen cry.

She asked him where did he
Learned to speak so well.
He said, “I kissed the Blarney Stone
And jumped right out of my shell.”

(He said)
“Head for the castle to become
One of Erin’s own.
If you won’t kiss a rock, be my guest and
Póg mo thóin.”

Bend over backwards just like a crab,
Give the stone a kiss for the gift of the gab.
Bend over backwards for the girls or the lads,
Then you’ll have the gift of the gab.

Bend over backwards just like a crab,
Give the stone a kiss for the gift of the gab.
Bend over backwards for the girls or the lads,
And you’ll be blessed with the gift of the gab.

Just like me, you’ll have the gift of the gab.
