Subject: RE: Origins: I Wonder What's Under a Scotsman's Kilt
P-File: "I Wonder What's Under a Scotsman's Kilt" p. 48
Tune: Typical Scotish brogue

I wonder what's under a Scotsman's kilt
A-wang, a-wang, a-wang, a-wang
Tickle me, tickle me, you know where
Under my kilt and in my hair
But if you tickle me in the wrong place
I'll lift up my kilt and I'll piss in your face.


From the "Perversion-Files" [c1995] from the Central Michigan University Marching Band collected by David Romas & Michael Fitzpatrick. Three copies of the "P-Files" songbook, along with two cassette tapes, are deposited at the Library of Congress Folklife Archive where it is assigned the catalog number AFC 1997/016

The song was marked as currently sung on a regular basis by the Marching Chippewas or have been sung regularly in the past decade or so. [ca 1985 to 1995]

Although the "P-file" doesn't identify the tune, Cassette #1 that accompanies the has this song being sung to "The Campbells Are Coming".
