Well 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 untill he could no longer keep his feet And he stumbled off into the grass to sleep beside the street Ring ding diddle-liddle la-dio Ring da diddly-ai-o He stumbled off 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 yon sleeping Scotsman so strong and handsome build I wonder if it's true what they don't wear beneath the kilt Ring ding diddle-liddle la-dio Ring da diddly-ai-o I 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 bearth Ring ding diddle-liddle la-dio Ring da diddly-ai-o Was nothing more than God had graced him with upon his bearth They marveled for a moment then one said we must be gone Let's leave a present for our friend before we move along As a gift they left a blue silk ribbon tied into a bow Around the bonnie star the Scot's kilt did lift and show Ring ding diddle-liddle la-dio Ring da diddly-ai-o Around the bonnie star the Scots kilt did lift and show Now the Scotsman woke to nature's call and stumbled toward the trees 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 Wow, lad I don't know were you've been but I see you've won first prize Ring ding diddle-liddle la-dio Ring da diddly-ai-o Oh, lad I don't know were you've been but I see you've won first prize
