Lyrics
Just because I've got the tune in my head, a silly [traditional?] drinking song: The Scotsman Oh, a Scotsman clad in a kilt left a bar one evenin' fair. And one could tell by the way he walked he'd drunk more than his share. He fumbled 'round until he could no longer keep his feet. Then he stumbled off onto the grass to sleep beside the street. Ring-ding, diddle-iddle, la-di-oh! Ring-dye, diddle-lye oh! He stumbled off onto the grass to sleep beside the street. About that time two young and lovely girls just happened by. And 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 what they don't wear beneath their kilt." Ring-ding, diddle-iddle, la-di-oh! Ring-dye, diddle-lye oh! I wonder if it's true what they don't wear beneath their kilt. So, they crept up on that sleepin' Scotsman quiet as they could be. They 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, la-di-oh! Ring-dye, diddle-lye oh! was nothing more than God had graced him with upon his birth. Well, 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 bonney star Scot's kilt did lift and show! Ring-ding, diddle-iddle, la-di-oh! Ring-dye, diddle-lye oh! around the bonney star Scot's kilt did lift and show! Oh! The Scotsman woke to nature's call and he 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, "Oh Laddy, don't know where ya been, but I see ya won first prize!" Ring-ding, diddle-iddle, la-di-oh! Ring-dye, diddle-lye oh! "Oh Laddy, don't know where ya been, but I see ya won first prize!"

That brings back memories -- a DJ at a radio station here in Atlanta used to play that song every Friday morning. Might still -- since I left the office where the prim Christian lady used to have that station on during the morning (immensely enjoying the Scotsman song, BTW), I haven't had occasion to hear that show.
