Ring Ding (A Scotsman's Story)

I met a girl one Friday night in a bar in Glasgow town
She poured me up a 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 nine and I'm a three

Ring-ding-did-a-little-la-di-oh, ring-di-diddly-eye-oh
Well I knew that I'd be punching, she's a nine and I'm a three

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 away from home

The savings dwindled quickly, but I didn't tell her so
A thousand other places where my girl wanted to go
So I just played along 'til 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
