Lyrics

Well a Scotsman clad in kilt left the bar one evening fair
 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
 Then he stumbled off into the grass asleep beside the street
 Ring-ding-did-a-little-la-di-oh, ring-di-diddly-eye-oh
 He stumbled off into the grass asleep beside the street
 About that time two young n' lovely girls just happened by
 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-did-a-little-la-di-oh, ring-di-diddly-eye-oh
 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 birth
 Ring-ding-did-a-little-la-di-oh, ring-di-diddly-eye-oh
 Was nothing more than God had graced him with upon his birth
 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-did-a-little-la-di-oh, ring-di-diddly-eye-oh
 Around the bonnie star the Scot's kilt did lift and show
 Now the Scotsman woke to nature's call and stumbled towards the trees
 Behind a bush he lift his kilt and gawks at what he sees
 And in a startled voice he says to what's before his eyes
 "Ah, lad I don't know where you've been but I see you won first prize"
 Ring-ding-did-a-little-la-di-oh, ring-di-diddly-eye-oh
 "Ah, lad I don't know where you've been but I see you won first prize"
