Lyr Req: Song about the Loch Ness monster

This was a folk song reminiscent of the style of say, the Wolfe Tones and I can only remember what was the last line of either the verse or the chorus, that the protagonist did various things "To prove he saw a monster walk across Loch Ness last night". I may have it a bit muddled up. Maybe it wasn't a monster, but something more comedic.

I heard this some time between 1990 and 2000.

Any help?

There's "Nessie" by the Real McKenzies but doesn't match your lyric excerpt.
