| OK so not technically a rant, but it's my favorite celtic drinking song so I had to share it ;-) |
| The Scotsman (an Irish Drinking Song) Well a Scotsman clad in kilt, left a bar one evenin 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 And stumbled off into the grass to sleep beside the street Ring ding diddlediddle aayedeoooo Ring da diddle aye oooo He stumbled off into the grass to sleep beside the street Bout that time two young and lovely girls just happened by 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 diddlediddle aayedeoooo Ring da diddle aye oooo 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 nuthin more than God hand graced him with upon his birth. Ring ding diddlediddle aayedeoooo Ring da diddle aye oooo Was nuthin more than God had graced him with upon his birth. They marveled for a moment and 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 bonny star the Scot�s kilt did lift and show Ring ding diddlediddle aayedeoooo Ring da diddle aye oooo Around the bonny star the Scot�s kilt did lift and show Now the Scotsman woke to nature�s call and stumbled towards the trees Behind the bush he lifts his kilt and gawks at what he sees And in a startled voice he says to what�s before his eyes, �Lad I don�t know where ya been but I see ya won first prize!� Ring ding diddlediddle aayedeoooo Ring da diddle aye oooo �Lad I don�t know where ya been but I see ya won first priiiiiiize!� |
