Lyrics
I love the story about the Irish man and Scotsman walkin' to a pub together
And the Scotsman yells out, "Drinks for the host, on me"
The followin' day, the headlines in the newspaper read, "Irish ventriloquist found beaten to death behind pub"
Did you know that the limbo dance was invented by a Scotsman tryin' to get into a paid toilet for nothin'?
Okay, you know what to do here, don't ya? At the end of every line, clap your hands twice, like this
Oh, a Scotsman dressed all in his kilt left a bar one evenin' fair
You could tell by the way he walked that he'd drunk more than his share
He staggered 'round until he could no longer keep his feet
Then he stumbled off into the grass to sleep beside the street
Ring-ding-diddle-iddle-I-dee-O, ring-di-diddley-I-O
He stumbled off into the grass to sleep beside the street
Now about that time two young and lovely girls were passin' by
One said to the other with a twinkle in her eye
See yon sleepin' Scotsman, so strong and handsome built?
I wonder if it's true that he wears nothin' 'neath his kilt?"
Ring-ding-diddle-iddle-I-dee-O, ring-di-diddley-I-O
I wonder if it's true that he wears nothin' 'neath his kilt?"
So they crept up on this sleepin' Scotsman, quiet as could be
And lifted up his kilt about an inch so they could see
Lo and behold for them to view beneath his Scottish skirt
Was nothin' more than God had graced him with upon his birth
Ring-ding-diddle-iddle-I-dee-O, ring-di-diddley-I-O
Was nothin' more than God had graced him with upon his birth
They marveled for a minute, then they said, "We must be gone
Let's leave him a souvenir before we travel on"
As a gift, they left a blue silk ribbon tied into a bow
Around the bonny star the Scotsman's kilt did lift and show
Ring-ding-diddle-iddle-I-dee-O, ring-di-diddley-I-O
Around the bonny star the Scotsman's kilt did lift and show
Now the Scotsman rose 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-iddle-I-dee-O, ring-di-diddley-I-O
"Oh lad, I don't know where you've been, but I see you won first prize"
Our Scottish friend still dressed in kilt continued down the street
He hadn't gone ten yards or more when a girl he chanced to meet
She said, "I've heard what's under there, tell me, is it so?"
He said, "Just slip your hand up, miss, if you'd really like to know"
Ring-ding-diddle-iddle-I-dee-O, ring-di-diddley-I-O
He said, "Just slip your hand up, miss, if you'd really like to know"
She put her hand right up his kilt and much to her surprise
The Scotsman smiled, and a very strange look came into his eyes
She cried, "Why sir, that's gruesome", and then she heard him roar
"If you put your hand up once again, you'll find it's grew some more"
Ring-ding-diddle-iddle-I-dee-O, ring-di-diddley-I-O
"If you put your hand up once again, you'll find it's grew some more"
Thank you
