The Blarney Stone
Ween Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Get off my ass you wee bitty fuck
If I pull out the claymore you're shit outta luck
Who's that girl, that pretty young thing
After I fuck her she'll get up and sing

Aye aye aye, sharpen your boot, and bludgeon your eye
Aye aye aye, the blarney stone brings a tear to me eye

Down to the pub for a two shilling ale
The bread on the counter is going stale
If I don't get some fresh bread soon
Gonna punch you in your face and bark at the moon

Aye aye aye, sharpen your boot, and bludgeon your eye
Aye aye aye, the blarney stone brings a tear to me eye

Ain't got no girl 'cause I haven't the time
Got too many other things on me mind
Patty was nice she was pale and cute
But I threw her away like an old piece of fruit

Aye aye aye, sharpen your boot, and bludgeon your eye
Aye aye aye, the blarney stone brings a tear to me eye

Got ooze in my pores my feet are all wet
Got mold in my ears but I ain't dead yet
Got stones in me bladder got a crack in me head
When patty starts cryin' this is what I said

Aye aye aye, sharpen your boot, and bludgeon your eye
Aye aye aye, the blarney stone brings a tear to me eye

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Ween's song The Blarney Stone are dark, humorous and nonsensical. The song paints a picture of a rough-and-tumble Irish pub atmosphere, where brawls are common and insults are thrown around like confetti. The opening lines speak to this atmosphere, with the singer telling someone to get off his ass and threatening violence with a claymore sword. The following line introduces a pretty young thing who will apparently sleep with the singer and then get up to sing.


The chorus brings attention to the Blarney Stone, a famous landmark in Ireland where visitors are said to receive the gift of eloquence or the "gift of gab" by kissing the stone. The chorus suggests that this gift has brought the singer to tears, perhaps out of gratitude or perhaps out of frustration with the situation he finds himself in.


The second verse again speaks to the roughness of the pub, with stale bread on the counter and threats of violence if fresh bread is not brought soon. The third verse touches on the singer's lack of romantic relationships, attributing it to a busy mind and a tendency to discard romantic partners like old fruit. The final lines bring attention to the singer's physical ailments, but in a humorous way, with mentions of ooze in pores, mold in ears, and stones in the bladder.


Overall, the lyrics to The Blarney Stone are a showcase of Ween's quirky and irreverent sense of humor, as they combine images of violence, sex, and bodily functions with a tongue-in-cheek celebration of Irish culture.
