BELL BOTTOM TROUSERS
(Claude Hulbert, Paul England)
As recorded by:
The Million-Airs, Dir. Arthur Lally
V. Fred Douglas
Recorded 3rd June 1931
With a yo-heave-ho, and I fear no foe
In my bell bottom trousers
I'm a sailor bold and I can't catch cold
In my bell bottom trousers
In every port at which I call
My manly figure makes girls fall
But the thing that really gets them all
Is my bell bottom trousers
With a yo-heave-ho, and I fear no foe
In my bell bottom trousers
I'm a sailor bold and I can't catch cold
In my bell bottom trousers
I spent a holiday in Kent
And rooms were scarce and so I went
And made myself a little tent
In my bell bottom trousers
With a yo-heave-ho, and I fear no foe
In my bell bottom trousers
I'm a sailor bold and I can't catch cold
In my bell bottom trousers
In Scotland once, a house I built
And as I'm scotch up to the hilt
I used one leg and made a kilt
Of my bell bottom trousers
(Musical Break)
In my bell bottom trousers
(Music)
In my bell bottom trousers
Now when we had to scrub the decks
We'd turn them up around our necks
And then I'm simply full of sex
In my bell bottom trousers.
