Ring Ding (A Scotsman's Story)

I met a girl one Friday night in a bar in Glasgow town

She poured me up whiskey and she told me to sit down

We talked all through the night until the Sun began to rise

And I knew my heart was hers when I looked into her eyes

Ring-ding-did-a-little-la-di-oh, ring-di-diddly-eye-oh

Well I knew my heart was hers when I looked into her eyes

She had some airs and graces from a high class part of town

And talked about the places that she'd want to travel round

And I was scared to ask if she would come along with me

'Cause I knew that I'd be punching she's a 9 and I'm a 3

Ring-ding-did-a-little-la-di-oh, ring-di-diddly-eye-oh

Well I knew that I'd be punching she's a 9 and I'm a 3

I borrowed all the money that my dad was saving by

She told me that she wants to see the deserts in Dubai

And then we went to Barcelona, Paris, Venice, Rome

I was happy with my true love a million miles away from home

Ring-ding-did-a-little-la-di-oh, ring-di-diddly-eye-oh

I was happy with my true love a million miles from home

The savings dwindled quickly but I didn't tell her so

A 1000 other places where my girl wanted to go

So I just played along till all my cashflow, it was gone

She said: I've got some money, you go home, I'll carry on

Ring-ding-did-a-little-la-di-oh, ring-di-diddly-eye-oh

She said: I've got some money, you go home, I'll carry on

So now I'm back in Glasgow thinking of what could have been

Keep checking on her pictures, see the places I should have seen

So I think there's a lesson that you need to learn from me

Don't act bigger than you are, take a girl from a random bar

Around the world, stray too far, without a credit card

Ring-ding-did-a-little-la-di-oh, ring-di-diddly-eye-oh

Well don't act bigger than you are without a credit card

Ring-ding-did-a-little-la-di-oh, ring-di-diddly-eye-oh

Well don't act bigger than you are without a credit card
