What A Beauty - Bard Song

The song sung by generations and generations to come, all over Kinwarest, so much, that you'll likely never go to a tavern and not hear it. It hints to some certain bardic stereotypes but it's fairly clean and suitable for non-adults to hear. The lyrics are as followed:   Down there lives a Carpenter   I think you all should know   He made a great big quarterstaff   For war or just for show   And when the story got around,   They came from far and wide   And when the people saw his quarterstaff, then they all cried……     Ooh!.......What a beauty,   I never seen one as big as that before   Ooh!.......What a beauty,   Its shaft is four feet long or even more   It's such a lovely stiffness,   And nice and full and strong   I never thought a quarterstaff   Could be as big and long     He was leaning on the garden gate   Just the other day   And beckoned to a lady   Who lives just across the way   He took her down the garden path and showed it her with pride   And when she saw the size of it,   The little lady sighed………     Ooh!......What a beauty,   I never seen one as big as that before   Ooh!......What a beauty,   Its shaft is four feet long or even more   It's such a lovely stiffness   And nice and full and strong   I never thought a quarterstaff   Could be as big and long     And then the weapon show was held   And everybody went   To see thee great big quarterstaff,   Lying in the tent   Soon the judges came along   To give the prizes out   They only took one look at it   And then began to shout………….     Ooh!.......What a beauty,   I never seen one as big as that before   Ooh!.......What a beauty,   Its shaft is four feet long or even more   It's such a lovely stiffness,   And nice and full and strong   I never thought a quarterstaff   Could be as big and long     (Flute solo to end)   Secret meanings to this song are speculated to be related to Hypnosis and Magic, but that is not confirmed by the artist, Gnome Salver Cobblemask.

Purpose

A song first sung by Renouned Gnomish Bard, Salver Cobblemask, now sung, centuries later, by practically all bards in the kingdom, and everyone wants to hear a new remix of it by another. Usually sung at a graduation ceremony from a Bard College, and always the opening act of BardCon, sung by the original musician.
