The drunk Scotsman [Polish translation]

Well, Scotsman clad in kilt,

left the 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,

then he stumbled off into the grass

to sleep beside the street.

Ring-ding-diddle-iddle-aye-dee-oh!

Ring-die-diddilee-aye-oh!

He stumbled off into the grass

to sleep beside the street.

About 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-diddle-iddle-aye-dee-oh!

Ring-die-diddilee-aye-oh!

"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 nothing more than God

had graced him with upon his birth.

Ring-ding-diddle-iddle-aye-dee-oh!

Ring-die-diddilee-aye-oh!

Was nothing more than God

had graced him with upon his birth.

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 bonnie star the Scot's kilt

did lift and show.

Ring-ding-diddle-iddle-aye-dee-oh!

Ring-die-diddilee-aye-oh!

Around the bonnie 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:

"Well, lad, I don't know where you've been

but I see you've won first prize!"

Ring-ding-diddle-iddle-aye-dee-oh!

Ring-die-diddilee-aye-oh!

"Well, lad, I don't know where you've been

but I see you've won first prize!"
