Ring Ding [A Scotsman's Story]
[00:00.67] ♫
[00:04.38] I met a girl
[00:05.44] One Friday night
[00:06.52] In a bar in Glasgow town
[00:08.37] She poured me
[00:09.18] Up a whiskey and
[00:10.50] She told me to sit down
[00:12.09] We talked all
[00:13.16] Through the night
[00:13.96] Until the sun began to rise
[00:16.34] And I knew my heart was hers
[00:17.93] When I looked into her eyes
[00:20.07] Ring-ding-did-a-little-la-di-oh
[00:22.46] Ring-di-diddly-eye-oh
[00:24.05] Well I knew my heart was hers
[00:25.91] When I looked into her eyes
[00:28.03] She had some airs and graces
[00:30.17] From a high-class part of town
[00:32.03] And talked about
[00:33.36] The places that
[00:34.43] She'd want to travel 'round
[00:36.02] And I was scared to ask
[00:37.87] If she would come
[00:38.94] Along with me
[00:39.92] 'Cause I knew
[00:41.25] That I'd be punching
[00:42.05] She's a nine and I'm a three
[00:43.92] Ring-ding-did-a-little-la-di-oh
[00:46.59] Ring-di-diddly-eye-oh
[00:48.17] Well I knew that
[00:49.24] I'd be punching
[00:50.04] She's a nine and I'm a three
[00:52.16] I borrowed all the money
[00:54.02] That my dad was saving by
[00:56.32] She told me that
[00:57.65] She wants to see
[00:58.71] The deserts in Dubai
[01:00.05] And then we went to Barcelona
[01:02.43] Paris, Venice, Rome
[01:04.02] I was happy with my true love
[01:06.15] A million miles away from home
[01:08.27] Ring-ding-did-a-little-la-di-oh
[01:10.41] Ring-di-diddly-eye-oh
[01:12.00] I was happy with my true love
[01:14.13] A million miles away from home
[01:16.25] The savings dwindled quickly
[01:18.31] But I didn't tell her so
[01:20.16] A thousand other places
[01:22.02] Where my girl wanted to go
[01:24.15] So I just played along
[01:26.00] 'Til all my cashflow
[01:27.07] It was gone
[01:27.86] She said
[01:28.83] "I've got some money
[01:29.90] You go home, I'll carry on"
[01:32.29] Ring-ding-did-a-little-la-di-oh
[01:34.41] Ring-di-diddly-eye-oh
[01:36.00] She said, "I've got some money
[01:37.86] You go home, I'll carry on"
[01:40.00] So now I'm back in Glasgow
[01:41.86] Thinking of what could have been
[01:44.25] Keep checking on her pictures
[01:46.11] See the places
[01:46.91] I should have seen
[01:48.24] So I think there's a lesson
[01:50.10] That you need to learn from me
[01:52.22] Don't act bigger than you are
[01:54.35] Take a girl from a random bar
[01:56.47] Around the world, stray too far
[01:58.32] Without a credit card
[02:00.19] Ring-ding-did-a-little-la-di-oh
[02:02.32] Ring-di-diddly-eye-oh
[02:04.17] Well don't act bigger
[02:05.51] Than you are
[02:06.56] Without a credit card
[02:08.17] Ring-ding-did-a-little-la-di-oh
[02:10.55] Ring-di-diddly-eye-oh
[02:12.15] Well don't act bigger
[02:13.48] Than you are
[02:14.27] Without a credit card
