The Scotsman
************
_Words & Music:
I wonder if it's true what they don't wear beneath the kilt."
_Ring ding diddle dee dee i dee oh,
Ring di deedle oh dill;
I wonder if it' true what they don't wear beneath the kilt._
They creeped up to the sleeping Scotsman quiet as could be;
lifted up his kilt above the waist so they could see...
There, behold, for them to view beneath his Scottish skirt
was nothing but what God had graced him with upon his birth.
_Ring ding deedle dee dee i dee oh,
Ring di deedle no dirth!
Nothing but what God had graced him with upon his birth,_
Well, 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."
So as a gift they left a blue silk ribbon tied into a bow
Around the bonnie star of the Scot's kilt lifting show.
_Ring ding deedle dee dee i dee oh,
Ring di deedle oh dough;
Around the bonnie star of the Scot's kilt lifting show._
Well the Scotsman woke to nature's call and stumbled toward the trees.
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...
"My friend, I don't know where you've been but I see you won first prize!"
_Ring ding deedle dee dee i dee oh,
Ring di deedle oh di;
"Friend, I don't know where you've been but I see you won first prize!"_
