Paroles : Gift Of The Gab (The Blarney Stone Song)
( 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
