Start Jamming...
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-liddle-liddy-o, ring-di-diddle-dee-i-o, he [D#] stumbled off into the [A#] grass to sleep beside the street.
About [B] that time two young [E] and lovely girls just happened by, one [N] says to the other with a twinkle in her eye,
See on sleeping Scotsman so strong and handsome built, I wonder if it's true what they don't wear beneath the kilt.
Ring-ding-diddle-liddle-liddy-o, ring-di-diddle-dee-i-o, 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 [C] for them to view beneath his Scottish skirt was nothing more than God had graced him with upon his [N] birth.
Ring-ding-diddle-liddle-liddy-o, ring-di-diddle-dee-i-o, was nothing more than God had graced him with upon his birth.
They marvelled for a moment then one said, we must be [E] gone, let's leave a present [F] for our friend before we move along.
As a gift they left a blue silk ribbon [E] tied into a bow, around the bonnie [N] star the Scots kilt did lift and show.
Ring-ding-diddle-liddle-liddy-o, ring-di-diddle-dee-i-o, around the bonnie star the Scots kilt did lift and show.
Now the Scotsman woke to nature's call and stumbled towards the trees, behind the bush he lift his kilt and got at [F] what he sees,
And in a startled voice he says to what's [F#] before his eyes, oh lad I don't know where you've been but I see you one first time.
[G] Ring-ding-diddle-liddle-liddy-o, ring-di [F#]-diddle-dee-i-o, oh lad I don't know where you've been but I see you one first time.
[N]
