A Scotsman clad in kilt left the bar one evening fair 
And one could tell by how he walked he'd drunk more 
than his share 
He thumbled on until he could no longer keep his feet 
he stumbled off into the grass to sleep beside the 
street. 

chorus: 
Ring ding diddle diddle i de o 
Ring di diddle i o 
He stumbled off into the grass to sleep beside the 
street. 

about that time two young and lovely girls just 
happened by, 
And one says to the other with a twinkle in her eye 
You see yon sleeping Scotsman who is young and handsome 
built 
I wonder if it's true what they don't wear beneath 
their kilt. 

Ring ding diddle diddle i de o 
Ring di diddle i o 
I wonder if it's true what they don't wear beneath 
their kilt. 

They crept up to the sleeping Scotsman quiet as could 
be 
Then lifted up his kilt about an inch so they could see 
And there behold for them to view beneath his Scottish 
skirt 
Was nothing but what God had graced him with upon his 
birth 

Ring ding diddle diddle i de o 
Ring di diddle i o 
was nothing there but what God gave upon his birth 

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 
and as a gift they took a blue silk ribbon and they 
tied it in a bow 
Around the bonnie spar that the Scot's lifted kilt did 
show 

Ring ding diddle diddle i de o 
Ring di diddle i o 
Around the bonnie spar that the Scot's lifted kilt did 
show 

The Scotsman woke to nature's call and stumbled toward 
a tree 
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 
He said, "Lad I don't know where you've been but I see 
you won first 
prize" 

Ring ding diddle diddle i de o 
Ring di diddle i o 
He said, "Lad I don't know where you've been but I see 
you won first prize"
