Lyrics
( Gift Of The Gab ) The Blarney Stone Poem/Song By James “Kishty” Keegan Verses 1 I once was a lad of Little expression Always short of words In my possession I could never find the words That I needed to convey And I’d bless the day For some fine persuasive eloquence Then one time I got Talking to a man named Ted This man was never short for words He had plenty to say I asked Where did you learn To speak so well? Hе said “I kissed the Blarney Stonе when I was 10” “The Blarney Stone is 4 feet long And one foot wide A limestone slab Up 85 feet high” “The story goes if you hang upside down And kiss the slab You’ll be never short for words As you will have the Gift Of The Gab” (Bridge ) I replied, what must I do And how must I flex? He said “Just lie backwards And crane out your neck.” “Listen up and listen well” (chorus) “You bend backwards just like a crab You give the stone a kiss for the gift Of the gab You bend backwards and you do the crab Then you’ll have the gift of the gab You bend backwards whether it’s wind or the rain .You bend backwards, you’ll feel no pain You bend backwards and kiss the slab Then you’ll have the gift of the gab (Then You’ll have the gift of the gab) I replied, that’s good advice, but to myself I thought what a load of lies He said, “sher, someday give it a try” As we both walked away waving goodbye And that time came On a wet windy day I longed to be no more shy I was going to turn upside down and Face the sky I headed for Blarney castle To be the king of the throne And hang upside down To kiss The Blarney Stone I reached the castle And I climbed to the top Never great with heights I guess it’s the fear of the drop I was met by The stone keeper And he said “your up next” (Bridge) I asked “What must I do And how do I flex?” He said “You lie backwards And just crane out your neck” “Listen up and listen well” (Chorus) “ You bend backwards just like a crab You give the stone a kiss for the gift of the gab You bend backwards and you do the crab... Then you’ll have the gift of the gab You bend backwards whether it’s wind or rain You bend backwards you’ll feel no pain Ya bend backwards and you kiss the slab Then you’ll have the gift of the gab (Then you’ll you have the gift of the gab)” He lowered me down With one big grab Before I knew it I was upside down Face to face with the slab I closed my eyes And kissed The Blarney Stone The magic hit my lips Just as a gentle breeze was a blowin’ I could taste the Millions of people before me On my lips What a great feeling Just kissing a brick While upside down it all came out I couldn’t help but sing it all out loud The words just poured and poured From my mouth I sang (Chorus ) I bent backwards just like a crab I gave the stone a kiss for the gift of the gab I bent backwards just like a crab Now I have the gift of the gab I bent backwards in the wind and rain I bent backwards and felt no pain I bent backwards and kiss the slab Now I have the gift of the gab And now I have the gift of the gab And just like that I was pulled back Up The keeper said You gave that Stone A great auld Póg (kiss) He said “I never heard someone Sing while hanging upside down There’s a first time for every I guess Even when on your your crown” As I walked a way The keeper shouted “who’s up next?” I could see the next person was Getting ready to flex I was stopped by a girl who was down the line She asked “”what was it like to kiss a stone of lime?”” Without hesitation I quickly replied I couldn't believe It was like I was a different guy I said The stone endowed my lips with the gift of the gab Before I kissed it I could barely open my trap (Bridge) She asked “”what must I do And how do I flex?”” I said Lie backwards And crane out your neck “Listen up and listen well” I said “you bend backwards just like a crab You give the stone a kiss for the gift of the gab You bend backwards and you do the crab Then you’ll have the gift of the gab You bend backwards if it’s wind or rain .Ya bend backwards you’ll fell no pain Ya bend backwards and kiss the slab Then you’ll have the gift of the gab Just like me you’ll have the gift of the gab Hey hey.... Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Now I have the gift of the gab X 3 to end #kishtykeegan
