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
