Oh, bell bottom trousers, coat of navy blue
She loves her sailor and he loves her too
Oh, bell bottom trousers, coat of navy blue
She loves her sailor and he loves her too, oh
Once there was a little girl who lived next to me (that's me)
And she loved a sailor boy, he was only three (that's me)
Now he's on a battleship in his sailor suit (suit)
Just a great big sailor but she thinks he's very cute (cute)
Bell bottom trousers, coat of navy blue
She loves her sailor and he loves her too, oh
Oh, 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 all go blink
She just smiles and shakes her head, then she softly sighs
Bell bottom trousers, coat of navy blue (navy blue)
She loves her sailor and he loves her too (oh)
Everywhere her sailor went, she was sure to go-go
Till one day he sailed away, where she doesn't know
Now I'm gonna join the Waves, maybe go to sea (oh folks)
Try to find her sailor boy, wherever he may be, oh
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
Bell bottom trousers, coat of navy blue
She loves her sailor and he loves her too
