Bell Bottom Trousers Guy Lombardo - written by Moe Jaffe - as recorded
by Guy Lombardo and his Royal Canadians April 20, 1945 in New
York
Once there was a little girl who lived next to me And she loved
a sailor boy, he was only three Now he's on a battleship in his sailor
suit Just a great big sailor but she thinks he's very cute
(With his
bell bottom trousers, coat of navy blue She loves her sailor and he loves
her too)
When her sailor boy's away on the ocean blue Soldier boys
all flirt with her but to him she's true Though they smile and tip their
caps and they wink their eyes She just smiles and shakes her head, then she
softly sighs
(Oh, bell bottom trousers, coat of navy blue She loves
her sailor and he loves her too)
When her sailor went to sea to see what
he could see She saw that he ate spinach, now he's big as he can be When
he's home they stroll along, they don't give a hoot She won't let go of his
hand, even to salute
If her sailor she can't find on the bounding
main She is hopeful he will soon come home safe again So they can get
married and raise a family Dress up all their kiddies in sailor's
dungarees
(Oh, bell bottom trousers, coat of navy blue She loves her
sailor and he loves her too)
