[English]

Scotty doesn't know that Fiona and me

Do it in my van every Sunday

She tells him she's in church but she doesn't go

Still she's on her knees and Scotty doesn't know

Oh, Scotty doesn't know

So don't tell Scotty

Scotty doesn't know

Scotty doesn't know

(So don't tell Scotty)

Fiona says she's out shopping

But she's under me

And I'm not stopping

'Cause Scotty doesn't know

Scotty doesn't know

Scotty doesn't know

Scotty doesn't know

So don't tell Scotty

Scotty doesn't know

Don't tell Scotty

I can't believe he's so trusting

While I'm right behind you thrusting

Fiona's got him on the phone

And she's trying not to moan

It's a three-way call and he knows nothing, nothing

Scotty doesn't know

Scotty doesn't know

Scotty doesn't know

So don't tell Scotty

'Cause Scotty doesn't know

Scotty doesn't know

So don't tell Scotty

We'll put on a show

Everyone will go

Scotty doesn't know

Scotty doesn't know

Scotty doesn't know

The parkin' lot, why not?

It's so cool when you're on top

His front lawn in the snow

Life is so hard 'cause Scotty doesn't know

Scotty doesn't know

...

I did her on his birthday

Scotty doesn't know

Scotty doesn't know

Scotty doesn't know

Scotty doesn't know

So don't tell Scotty

Scotty doesn't know

Scotty will know

Scotty doesn't know

Scotty's gotta know

I'm gonna tell Scotty

Gonna tell him myself

Scotty doesn't know

Scotty doesn't know

Scotty has to

Scotty has to

Scotty has to go

Scotty doesn't know

Scotty doesn't know

(So don't tell Scotty)

Scotty doesn't know

Scotty doesn't know

Scotty doesn't know

(So don't tell Scotty)

Scotty doesn't know

(Scotty doesn't know)

(Scotty doesn't know)

(Scotty doesn't know)

(Scotty doesn't know)

(Scotty doesn't know)

(Scotty doesn't know)

(Scotty doesn't know)

(Scotty doesn't know)

(Scotty's gotta go)

...

That is so bad! So bad

...

Key Grammar Structures

• Scotty doesn't know that Fiona and me Do it in my van every Sunday

  ➔ Object Pronoun Misuse, Subject-Verb Agreement

  ➔ The phrase "Fiona and *me*" should be "Fiona and *I*" because they are the subject of the verb "do". Additionally, "doesn't" is used correctly with "Scotty" as it's a singular subject.

• She tells him she's in church but she doesn't go

  ➔ Indirect Speech, Contradiction of Information

  ➔ This sentence uses indirect speech to report what Fiona tells Scotty. It also introduces a contradiction: she says she's at church, but "she doesn't go", revealing deception.

• Still she's on her knees and Scotty doesn't know

  ➔ Ellipsis (Implied Action), Present Continuous (Figurative)

  ➔ "She's on her knees" implies an action (e.g., performing oral sex) without explicitly stating it. The present continuous tense is used figuratively, not literally describing a continuous physical position.

• 'Cause Scotty doesn't know

  ➔ Informal Contraction

  ➔ 'Cause" is an informal contraction of "because". It's common in colloquial speech and song lyrics.

• While I'm right behind you thrusting

  ➔ Present Continuous Tense (Action in progress), Adverb of Place

  ➔ "I'm thrusting" uses the present continuous to describe an action in progress. "Right behind you" is an adverbial phrase specifying the location of the action.

• It's a three-way call and he knows nothing, nothing

  ➔ Ellipsis (Implied subject and verb), Repetition for emphasis

  ➔ The sentence could be expanded to "It is a three-way call, and he knows nothing." The second "nothing" is repeated for emphasis.

• Scotty's gotta know

  ➔ Informal Contraction ('Gotta')

  ➔ "Gotta" is an informal contraction of "got to", which functions as a shortened version of "has/have got to" or "must". It expresses obligation or necessity.
