Bell Bottom Trousers

Bell Bottom Trousers - Louis Prima & His Orchestra

When I was a lady's maid down in drury lane

My mistress she was good to me my master just the same

Along came a sailor happy as could be

And he was the cause of all my misery

With his bell bottom trousers coat of navy blue

She loves her sailor and he loves her too

He asked me for a candle to light him up to bed

He asked me for a kerchief to tie around his head

And I like a silly girl thinking it no harm

Lay down beside him just to keep him warm

With his bell bottom trousers coat of navy blue

She loves her sailor and he loves her too

Early in the morning before the break of day

A sawbuck note he left for me before he went away

And he left a message that if I have a son

Let him be a sailor if he wants to have some fun

With his bell bottom trousers coat of navy blue

She loves her sailor and he loves her too

If it is a daughter bounce her on your knee

And if it is a boy send the bugger out to sea

Bell bottom trousers coat of navy blue

Oh he'll climb the rigging like the sailors used to do

If my sailor I can't find on the bounding main

I am hopeful he will soon come home safe again

So we can get married and raise a family

Dress up all their kiddies in sailor's dungarees
