Well a Scotsman clad in kilt left a bar one evening 
fair, 
and one could tell by how he walked that heâ??d drunk 
more than his share. 
He fumbled round until he could no longer keep his 
feet, 
then he stumbled off into the grass to sleep beside the 
street. 
Ring ding diddle diddle eye dee oh, ring di diddly eye 
oh, 
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, 
â??See yon sleeping Scotsman, so strong and handsome 
built? 
I wonder if itâ??s true what they donâ??t wear beneath 
their kilt!� 
Ring ding diddle diddle eye dee oh, ring di diddly eye 
oh, 
â??I wonder if itâ??s true what they donâ??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 diddle diddle eye dee 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, â??We must be 
gone, 
letâ??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 Scotsâ?? kilt did lift and 
show. 
Ring ding diddle diddle eye dee oh, ring di diddly eye 
oh, 
around the bonnie star the Scots kilt did lift and 
show.
Now the Scotsman woke to natureâ??s call and stumbled 
towards a tree. 
Behind a bush, he lift his kilt and gawks at what he 
sees! 
And in a startled voice he says to whatâ??s before his 
eyes, 
â??O, lad I donâ??t know where you been, but I see you won 
first prize!� 
Ring ding diddle diddle eye dee oh, ring di diddly eye 
oh, 
â??O, lad I donâ??t know where you been, but I see you won 
first prize!�
