Oh, a Scotsman dressed in his kilt,
left a bar one evening fair.
You could tell by the way he walked
that he'd drunk more than his share
He staggered round until he could no longer keep his feet
then he stumbled off into the grass to sleep beside the street.
Ring-ding diddle diddle aye-dee-oh
Ring di-diddly aye oh
He stumbled off into the grass to sleep beside the street.
Now about that time two young and lovely girls were passing by
And one said to the other, with a twinkle in her eye
"See yon sleeping Scotsman, so strong and handsome built?"
" I wonder if it's true that he wears nothing 'neath his kilt."
Ring-ding diddle diddle aye-dee-oh
Ring di-diddley aye oh
"I wonder if it's true that he wears nothing 'neath his kilt."
So they crept up on the sleeping Scotsman, quiet as could be
And lifted up his kilt about an inch so they could see
Lo and behold, for them to view, beneath his Scottish skirt,
Twas nothing but what God had blessed him with upon his birth.
Oh Ring-ding diddle diddle aye-dee-oh
Ring di-diddle-oh day
Twas nothing more than God had graced him with upon his birth.
Well they marveled for a moment, then one said, "We best be gone."
"But let's leave a present for our friend before we move along."
So as a gift, they left a blue silk ribbon tied into a bow
Around the bonnie star the Scot's kilt lifted showed.
Oh Ring-ding diddle diddle aye-dee-oh
Ring di-diddlee-oh day
Around the bonnie star the Scot's kilt lifted show.
When the Scotsman woke to nature's call, he stumbled towards the trees
Behind the bush, he lifts his kilt, and he gawks at what he sees,
And in a startled voice, he says to what's before his eyes,
"My friend, I don't know where you've been, but I see you won first prize!
Oh Ring-ding diddle diddle aye-dee-oh
Ring di-diddlee-oh day
"My friend, I don't know where you've been, but I see you won first prize!"
