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 man, but he's just as cute



Chorus:

Bell bottom trousers, coat of navy blue

She loves a sailor man and he loves her too



When they walk along the street, anyone can see

They are so much in love, happay as can be

Hand in hand they stroll along, they don't give a hoot

He won't let go of her hand, even to salute



Chorus



Everywhere her sailor went, she was sure to go

Till one day he sailed away, where she doesn't know

Now she's going to join the Waves, maybe go to sea

Try to find her sailor boy, where ever he may be



Chorus



If her sailor she can't find on the bounting mane

She is hopeful he will soon come home safe again

So they can get married and raise a family

Dress up all the kids in sailor's dungares



Chorus
