A Scotsman clad in kilt left the bar one evening fair
And one could tell by how he walked that he'd drunk more than his share
He fumbled round until he could no longer keep his feet
And he stumbled of into the grass to sleep beside the street
About that time two young and lovely girls just happened by
One says to the other with a twinkle in her eye
"See young sleeping Scotsman, so strong and handsome built
I wonder if it's true what they don't wear beneath the kilt"
Ring ding diddle-idle ay de oh, ring ding diddly ay oh, oh
"We wonder if it's true what they don't wear beneath the kilt"
They crept up on that sleeping Scotsman, quiet as could be
Lifted up his kilt about an inch so they could see
And there behold for them to view beneath his Scottish skirt
Was nothing more than God had graced him with upon his birth
Ring ding diddle-idle ay de oh, ring ding diddly ay oh, oh
Was nothing more than God had graced him with upon his birth
We marveled for a moment then she said
"We must be gone! Let's leave a present for our friend before we move along"
As a gift we left a blue silk ribbon tied into a bow
Around the Bonnie star the Scotsman kilt did lift and show
Ring ding diddle-idle ay de oh, ring ding diddly ay oh, oh
Around the Bonnie star the Scotsman kilt did lift and show
ย
Now the Scotsman woke to nature's call and stumbled toward a tree
Behind the bush he lifts his kilt and gawks at what he sees
And in a startled voice he says to what's before his eyes
"Oh lad, I don't know where ya've been but I see ya won first prize"
Ring ding diddle-idle ay de oh, ring ding diddly ay oh, oh
"Oh lad, I don't know where ya've been but I see ya won first prize"
Ring ding diddle-idle ay de oh, ring ding diddly ay oh, oh
"Oh lad, I don't know where ya've been but I see ya won first prize"
