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)
