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.
