Music: The Scotsman -- Bryan Bowers
I fired up iTunes, and this song popped up, and I just had to share the lyrics with you. If you don't know it, I highly suggest picking up the Dr. Demento 20th Anniversary Collection. (NOT the 25th Anniversary, that one sucks).
Well a Scotsman clad in kilt left a bar one evening fair.
And one could tell by how he walked that he 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 Ei-Deoh!
Ring Die Diddley Ei-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 Ei-Deoh!
Ring Die Diddley Ei-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.
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 upon his birth.
Ring Ding Diddle Iddle Ei-Deoh!
Ring Die Diddley Ei-Oh.
Was nothing more than God had graced him 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 bonnie star the Scot's kilt did lift and show.
Ring Ding Diddle Iddle Ei-Deoh!
Ring Die Diddley Ei-Oh.
Around the bonnie star the Scot's kilt did lift and show.
Now the Scotsman woke to nature's call and stumbled towards the trees.
Behind a 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 ya been, but I see ya won first prize!"
Ring Ding Diddle Iddle Ei-Deoh!
Ring Die Diddley Ei-Oh.
"Och, Lad I don't know where ya been, but I see ya won first prize!"
