Oh, a Scotsman dressed all in his kilt left the bar one evening fair
You could tell by the way he walked that he'd more than his share
He staggered off until he could no longer keep his feet
Then he stumbled off unto the grass to sleep beside street

Ring-ding diddle diddle aye-dee-oh
Ring-ding diddly-aye oh
Oh he stumbled off unto the grass to sleep beside the street

Well, about that time two young and lovely girls came passing by
Said one onto the other, with a twinkle in her eye
'See yon sleepy Scotsman, so strong and handsome built?
I wonder if it's true that he wear nothing beneath his kilts'

Ring-ding diddle diddle aye-dee-oh
Ring-ding diddly-aye oh,
I wonder if it's true that he wear nothing beneath his kilts

So they crept up on that sleeping Scotsman, quiet as could be
And lifted up his kilt about an inch so they could see
Lord and behold for them to view, beneath that Scottish skirt
Was nothing more than God had blessed him with upon his birth

Ring-ding diddle diddle aye-dee-oh
Ring-ding diddly-aye oh,
Was nothing more than God had blessed him with upon his birth

Well, they marveled for a moment, then said, 'We must be gone
Let's leave a for him a souvenir before we traveled on'
As a gift, they left a blue silk ribbon tied up in a bow
Around the bonnie star the Scotsman's kilt did lift and show

Ring-ding diddle diddle aye-dee-oh
Ring-ding diddly-aye oh
Around the bonnie star the Scotsman's kilt did lift and show

Well the Scotsman woke to nature's call and headed for the trees
He lifted up his kilt, and then he gawks at what he sees
And in his drunken voice, he says to what's before his eyes
“Oh lad, I don't know where you've been, but I see you won first prize”

Ring-ding diddle diddle aye-dee-oh
Ring-ding diddly-aye oh
Oh lad, I don't know where you've been but I see you won first prize
