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 staggered on until he could no longer keep his feet 
Then stumbled off into the grass to sleep beside the street. cho:

He 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 so 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 more than 
God had graced him with upon his birth

Was nothing more than 
God had graced him with 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 
As a gift they left a blue silk ribbon tied into a bow 
Around the bonnie spar that the 
Scot's lifted kilt did show

Around the bonnie spar that the 
Scot's lifted kilt did show 
The Scotsman woke to nature's call and stumbled toward the trees 
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 "Och, Lad I don't know where you've been but I see you won first prize."
