Exponential Blarney by Bert - Tune: Back to Donegal

If you go to Ireland
and you have a tale to tell
Well they'll tell you a couple back
And tell 'em twice as well

Chorus:
For two to one's the deal me lads
the best you've ever known
for everyone in Ireland
has kissed the Blarney Stone.

Now you've got three stories
You're really in a fix
If you tell 'em to a friend me boys
He'll come back with six.

Chorus

Now you've got nine stories
and as sure as Ireland's green
You tell 'em to a neighbor
and he'll tell you eighteen

Chorus

Now I've twenty seven stories
and if I tell them to you
You'll have to tell me fifty four
before this day is through

Chorus

And if you keep telling stories
As you go from door to door
You'll have fifty million stories
that you've never heard before.

Chorus
