Bell Bottom Trousers

- 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)
