A Scotsman clad in kilt left a bar one evening fair
and one could tell by how he walked he'd drunk more than his share,
He stumbled on until he could no longer keep his feet,
then he staggered off into the grass to sleep beside the street
Ring ding diddle dee dee i dee oh,
Ring di deedle oh dee;
He staggered off into the grass to sleep beside the street.
Well, later on two young and lovely girls just happened by
And one says to the other with a twinkle in her eye,
"See yon sleeping Scotsman so strong and handsome built?
I wonder if it's true what they don't wear beneath the kilt."
Ring ding diddle dee dee i dee oh,
Ring di deedle oh dill;
I wonder if it' true what they don't wear beneath the kilt.
They creeped up to the sleeping Scotsman quiet as could be;
lifted up his kilt above the waist so they could see...
There, behold, for them to view beneath his Scottish skirt
was nothing but what God had graced him with upon his birth.
Ring ding deedle dee dee i dee oh,
Ring di deedle no dirth!
Nothing but what God had graced him with upon his birth,
Well, they marveled for a moment, then one said, "We'd 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 of the Scot's kilt lifting show.
Ring ding deedle dee dee i dee oh,
Ring di deedle oh dough;
Around the bonnie star of the Scot's kilt lifting show.
Well the Scotsman woke to nature's call and stumbled toward the trees.
Behind a bush he lifts his kilt and gawks at what he sees.
Then 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!"
Ring ding deedle dee dee i dee oh,
Ring di deedle oh di;
"Friend, I don't know where you've been but I see you won first prize!"
