This is another one of my absolute favourite songs at bardics. I think that it's originally done by the Arrogant Worms, but don't quote me on that.
smile The Scotsman
Well a Scotsman clad in kilt left the bar one evening fair
And one could tell by how he walked that he'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 iddle eye de oh
Ring die diddl-ee 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
See yon sleeping scotsman so strong and handsome built
I wonder if it's true what they don't wear beneath the kilt?
Ring ding diddle iddle eye de oh
ring die diddl-ee eye oh
I wonder if it's true what they don't wear beneath the kilt
They crept up on that sleeping scotsman quiet as could be
And 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 iddle eye de oh
Ring die diddl-ee eye oh
Was nothing more than God had graced him with upon his birth
They marveled for a moment then one said we must be gone
Let'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 bonny star the Scot's kilt did lift and show
Ring ding diddle iddle eye de oh
Ring die diddl-ee eye oh
Around the bonny star the Scot's kilt did lift and show
Now the scotsman woke to nature's call and stumbled towards a tree
Behind the bush he lifts his kilt and gawks at what he sees
And in a startled voice he says to what's before his eyes
"Och! Lad, I don't know where you've been but I see you've won first prize!"
Ring ding diddle iddle eye de oh
Ring die diddl-ee eye oh
Oh lad I don't know where you've been but I see you've won first prize!
