Verse:

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 battle ship, 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 her sailor, and he loves her too.
Bell Bottom Trousers, coat of navy blue,

He'll climb the riggin' like his daddy used to do.
