Bell Bottom Trousers




Bell Bottom Trousers
music and lyric by Moe Jaffe

Once there was a little girl who lived next door 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 bell bottom trousers, coat of navy blue.
She loves her sailor and he loves her too.

When her sailor boy's a way 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...
