A Scotsman clad in kilt left the pub one evening fair
And one could tell by how he walked, he'd drunk more than his share
Staggered on until he could no longer keep his feet
Then stumbled off into the grass to sleep beside the street

Later on two young and lovely girls just happened by
And one says to the other, with a twinkle in her eye
"You see yon sleeping Scotsman who is young and handsome built
I wonder if it's true what they don't wear beneath their kilt"

I wonder if it's true what they don't wear beneath their kilt
They crept up to the sleeping Scotsman quiet as could be
Then lifted up his kilt about an inch so they could see
And there behold for them to view beneath his Scottish skirt
Was nothing but what God had graced him with upon his birth
Ring ding diddle diddle I de o

There was nothing there but what God gave upon his birth

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?
They took a blue silk ribbon and they tied it in a bow
Around the bonnie spar that the Scot's lifted kilt did show

The Scotsman woke to nature's call and stumbled toward a tree
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
He said, "Lad I don't know where you've been but I see you won first prize"
