A Bit O' Blarney 1904

If you've met a maiden fair anywhere
and you care to set her tender heart aflame,
If her cheek is like a rose I suppose
that she knows it is,
but tell her just the same.
If the stars that dot the skies
match her eyes
put her wise for that's the way to play the game.
For you'll find a bit o' blarney has its charms.

Sing loud your lady's praises
She likes to hear them sung,
Let soft and honeyed phrases
Fall lightly from your tongue.
Claim all the love that blazes
deep in her eyes so bright.
For the divil a laddie buck
full o' pluck
ever struck a maid that wouldn't try her luck
with a lad that used a bit o' blarney right.

First her hand you gently seize for a squeeze
it'll please your lady just as sure as fate;
Then your arm is gently placed 'round her waist,
not in haste, for she'll be pretty sure to wait;
But you have to throw your heart in the part
from the start,
because a maid that's up to date
will dislike a bit o' blarney overdone.

Sing loud your lady's praises
She likes to hear them sung,
Let soft and honeyed phrases
Fall lightly from your tongue.
Claim all the love that blazes
deep in her eyes so bright.
For the divil a laddie buck
full o' pluck
ever struck a maid that wouldn't try her luck
with a lad that used a bit o' blarney right.

Sing loud your lady's praises
She likes to hear them sung,
Let soft and honeyed phrases
Fall lightly from your tongue.
Claim all the love that blazes
deep in her eyes so bright.
For the divil a laddie buck
full o' pluck
ever struck a maid that wouldn't try her luck
with a lad that used a bit o' blarney right.
