Verse:
                  D MajorD    G+G
Och, the Dean o' Westminster was a powerful man
              D MajorD
He held a' the reins o' the State in his hand
    G+G           C majorC       G+G
But wi' a' his great power, it flustered him nane
                 D MajorD     G+G
When some rogues ran awa wi' his wee magic Stane
             D MajorD    G+G
Wi' a too-ra-li-oo-ra-li-oo-ra-li-ay

Verse:
                      D MajorD     G+G
Noo, the Stane had great powers that could dae sich a thing
                  D MajorD
That withoot it, it seemed we'd be wantin' a king
   G+G            C majorC      G+G
So he called in the polis and made this decree
                D MajorD      G+G
Go and hunt oot the Stane and return it tae me
             D MajorD    G+G
Wi' a too-ra-li-oo-ra-li-oo-ra-li-ay

Verse:
                 D MajorD     G+G
So the polis went beetlin' right up tae the North
                D MajorD
They hunted the Clyde and they hunted the Forth
    G+G             C majorC      G+G
But the wild folks up yonder just kidded them a'
                D MajorD    G+G
For they didnae believe it was magic at a'
             D MajorD    G+G
Wi' a too-ra-li-oo-ra-li-oo-ra-li-ay

Verse:
                D MajorD     G+G
Noo the Provost o' Glesga, Sir Victor by name
             D MajorD
Wis awfy put oot when he heard o' the Stane
   G+G            C majorC        G+G
So he offered the statues that stan' in George Square
                  D MajorD     G+G
That the High Church's masons might mak' a few mair
             D MajorD    G+G
Wi' a too-ra-li-oo-ra-li-oo-ra-li-ay

Verse:
                 D MajorD     G+G
When the Dean o' Westminster wi' this was acquaint
               D MajorD
He sent for Sir Victor and he made him a saint
    G+G            C majorC      G+G
"It was no use you sending your statues down heah"
                 D MajorD      G+G
Said the Dean, "But it gives me a right good ideah"
             D MajorD    G+G
Wi' a too-ra-li-oo-ra-li-oo-ra-li-ay

Verse:
               D MajorD     G+G
So he quarried a stane o' the very same stuff
               D MajorD
And got it dressed up till it looked like enough
    G+G            C majorC        G+G
Then he sent for the press and announced that the Stane
                D MajorD      G+G
Had been found and returned tae Westminster again
             D MajorD    G+G
Wi' a too-ra-li-oo-ra-li-oo-ra-li-ay

Verse:
                  D MajorD      G+G
When the reivers found oot what Westminster had done
              D MajorD
They went aboot diggin' up stanes by the ton
    G+G              C majorC      G+G
And fur each wan they feenished they entered the claim
              D MajorD    G+G
That this was the true and original Stane
             D MajorD    G+G
Wi' a too-ra-li-oo-ra-li-oo-ra-li-ay

Verse:
                 D MajorD      G+G
Noo the cream o' the joke still remains tae be tellt
                  D MajorD
Fur the bloke that was turnin' them aff on the belt
    G+G           C majorC     G+G
At the peak o' production was so sorely pressed
                 D MajorD      G+G
That the real yin got bunged in alang wi' the rest
             D MajorD    G+G
Wi' a too-ra-li-oo-ra-li-oo-ra-li-ay

Verse:
            D MajorD      G+G
So if ever ye come on a Stane wi' a ring
               D MajorD
Jist sit yersel' doon and proclaim yersel King
      G+G          C majorC       G+G
Fur there's nane wud be able to challenge yir claim
                  D MajorD    G+G
That ye'd croont yersel King on the Destiny Stane
             D MajorD    G+G
Wi' a too-ra-li-oo-ra-li-oo-ra-li-ay
