Des Bishop is an Irish-American comedian. He was brought up in New York and is now primarily based in Ireland, after being sent to boarding school in County Wexford for a heavy drinking problem in 1990 at the age of 14. Bishop’s TV show, In the Name of the Fada premiered in 2008. It deals with Bishop trying to learn Irish to a standard sufficient to perform an entire standup act through the language. During this period he achieved fluency in the language. He later used his Irish to sing the Gaeilge version of the song Jump Around called Léim Thart
Dún do chlab, dún do bhéal, Éist le mo scéal, Má cheapann tú go dtuigeann tú, Tá tú cur i géill, Tá mé ag dul thú a bhodhradh, Ceangail mé le slabhra, Guile a mhac, ná bí caint cac, Anseo i lár an samhradh, Súistín búistín, Buile beaga shúistín. Ná bí a phlaidhca, No gheobhaidh tú a leice, Níl mé ag iarraidh, Éisteacht le do chac bó, Damhsa, damhsa, Gan aon stró. Buachaillí gránna, Cailíní beaga dána, Ní thugann mise áird, Ar na Gárdaí Síochána, Ar an gCeathrú Rua, Amuigh anseo faoin tuath, Léim anois, léim anois, Léim anois go luath,
Curfá Má tá sé mí-cheart, Má tá sé mí cheart, Is cuma liom is cuma liom, Léimigí thart Léim thart Fag seo, eirigh as do pholl is léim thart Léim (x12)
Freastailfidh mé thú, Ar nós John McEnroe, Má shúileann do bhean shuas, Buaileadh mé an ho, Cá bhfuil do chlann, Cá bhfuil do cháirde? Cá bhfuil an ceol? Suas níos airde. Agus díreach ar nós uisce te, Tá mé a'bruith, Má fheiceann tú mise ag tíócht, B'fhearr dhuit bheith rith, Mar tá mé ar nós 'Tom Cruise', Sa scannán sin 'Top Gun', Ní stopfaidh tú mise, Leis an shotgun, Má dheanann tú is gaoita thú, Agus beidh tú i do staic, Ní éireoidh tú arís, Agus sin é an chraic, Anois é mo stoir, Éist le mo Ghlor, Amach ar an urlar ar nós Peigín Leitir Moir.
Curfá
Is mé an fear is fearr, Sea tá mé tharr barr, Ní fheicfidh tú mise, I mo sheasamh ins an lár, Ná an deireadh ach an oiread, An taobh eile don droichead, Má thagann said chomh fada liom, Cuirfidh mise soir iad. Amach ar an bportach, Agus iad ag baint mhóna, Déardaoin, Dé hAoine, Dé Sathairn is Dé Domhnaigh, Suas suas is síos, Agus arais arís, Glan do straois, Tá sé salach agus clúdaigh le smaois, Comh héadrom le cleite, Comh te leis an leite, Fanach tú é Nó togfaidh mé é uaite.
Shut your gob, shut your mouth Listen to my story, If you think you understand You are fooling yourself I'm going to deafen you, Tie me up with a chain Come here, son, don't be talking shit In the middle of summer Súistín búistín buile beaga shúistín Don't be a jerk, Or you're going to get a slap I don't want to Hear your shit Dancing, dancing, Without effort Nasty lads, Naughty young girls I pay no attention To the Garda Síochána In Carraroe, Out in the countryside Jump now, jump now, Jump now without delay
Chorus If it's wrong, If it's wrong, I don't care, i don't care, Jump around! jump around! C'mon, get off your hole and jump around! Jump (x12)
I'll serve you like John McEnroe If your woman steps up, I'll slap the ho! Where is your family, where are your friends, where is the music, Play it louder And now like hot water, I am boiling If you see me coming, You'd better be running 'Cos i'm like Tom Cruise in that film Top Gun You won't stop me with a shotgun! If you do, it will be clear right soon And you will be on the floor You won't ever get up again, that's the craic Now, my dear, listen to my voice out on the floor like Peigín Leitir Mór
Chorus
I'm the best man, so i'm the greatest You won't see me standing in the middle Or at the end either on the other side of the bridge if they come as far as me, i'll bury them, out on the bog, as they cut turf, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday Up up 'n down and up and around Shut your face, it's dirty and covered with snot As light as a feather As hot as porridge You wait for it, Or I'll take it from you
