[Verse]
                                   D        G
Och, the Dean o' Westminster was a powerful man
                            D
He held a' the reins o' the State in his hand
        G                      C             G
But wi' a' his great power, it flustered him nane
                                 D         G
When some rogues ran awa wi' his wee magic Stane
                         D        G
Wi' a too-ra-li-oo-ra-li-oo-ra-li-ay
 
[Verse]
                                           D          G
Noo, the Stane had great powers that could dae sich a thing
                                   D
That withoot it, it seemed we'd be wantin' a king
      G                       C           G
So he called in the polis and made this decree
                                D           G
Go and hunt oot the Stane and return it tae me
                         D        G
Wi' a too-ra-li-oo-ra-li-oo-ra-li-ay
 
[Verse]
                                 D          G
So the polis went beetlin' right up tae the North
                               D
They hunted the Clyde and they hunted the Forth
        G                         C           G
But the wild folks up yonder just kidded them a'
                               D        G
For they didnae believe it was magic at a'
                         D        G
Wi' a too-ra-li-oo-ra-li-oo-ra-li-ay
 
[Verse]
                               D         G
Noo the Provost o' Glesga, Sir Victor by name
                         D
Wis awfy put oot when he heard o' the Stane
      G                        C               G
So he offered the statues that stan' in George Square
                                    D          G
That the High Church's masons might mak' a few mair
                         D        G
Wi' a too-ra-li-oo-ra-li-oo-ra-li-ay
 
[Verse]
                                 D          G
When the Dean o' Westminster wi' this was acquaint
                              D
He sent for Sir Victor and he made him a saint
        G                       C            G
"It was no use you sending your statues down heah"
                                  D           G
Said the Dean, "But it gives me a right good ideah"
                         D        G
Wi' a too-ra-li-oo-ra-li-oo-ra-li-ay
 
[Verse]
                              D         G
So he quarried a stane o' the very same stuff
                              D
And got it dressed up till it looked like enough
        G                        C                G
Then he sent for the press and announced that the Stane
                                D            G
Had been found and returned tae Westminster again
                         D        G
Wi' a too-ra-li-oo-ra-li-oo-ra-li-ay
 
[Verse]
                                    D           G
When the reivers found oot what Westminster had done
                           D
They went aboot diggin' up stanes by the ton
        G                            C           G
And fur each wan they feenished they entered the claim
                            D       G
That this was the true and original Stane
                         D        G
Wi' a too-ra-li-oo-ra-li-oo-ra-li-ay
 
[Verse]
                                  D            G
Noo the cream o' the joke still remains tae be tellt
                                    D
Fur the bloke that was turnin' them aff on the belt
       G                      C         G
At the peak o' production was so sorely pressed
                                 D            G
That the real yin got bunged in alang wi' the rest
                         D        G
Wi' a too-ra-li-oo-ra-li-oo-ra-li-ay
 
[Verse]
                        D           G
So if ever ye come on a Stane wi' a ring
                             D
Jist sit yersel' doon and proclaim yersel King
            G                   C             G
Fur there's nane wud be able to challenge yir claim
                                    D       G
That ye'd croont yersel King on the Destiny Stane
                         D        G
Wi' a too-ra-li-oo-ra-li-oo-ra-li-ay
