Bell Bottom Trousers

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
