Is there anyone that hasn't heard the song, The Sleeping Scotsman?

1.  A Scotsman clad in kilt
Left a bar one evening fair
And one could tell by how he walked
He'd drunk more than his share
He stumbled on until
He could no longer keep his feet
Then staggered off into the grass
To sleep beside the street.

Refrain:

A ring-di-diddle-e-di do,
A-ring-di-diddle-i-day
He staggered off into the grass
To sleep beside the street.

2. A pair of young and lovely girls
Just happened to come by
And one said 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?"

3. They crept upon the sleeping Scotsman,
Quiet as could be,
And lifted up his kilt about an inch
So they could see...
And there, behold, for them to view,
Beneath his Scottish skirt
T'was nothing but
What God has graced him with upon his birth!

 4. 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!"
So as a gift, they left a blue silk ribbon,
Tied into a bow,
Around the Bonnie Star
The Scottish kilt did lift and show!

5. The Scotsman woke to Nature's Call,
And stumbled towards a tree
Behind the bush, he lifts his kilt,
And gawks at what he sees!
Then, in a startled voice he says
To what's before his eyes:
"O Lad  I don't know where you've been
But I see y'won First Prize!"
