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)
