Bell Bottom Trousers

Performed by Louis Prima, Lilyann Carol
Recorded February 1945
Written by Moe Jaffe, remade by Louis Prima.

LILYANN:
When I was a lady's maid down in Drury Lane
My mistress, she was good to me; my master was 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 loved her sailor and he loved 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 loved her sailor and he loved her too)

(Trumpet Solo)

Early in the mornin', before the break of day
A sawbuck note he left for me before he went away
And he wrote 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 loved her sailor and he loved her too)

(Saxophone Solo)

LOUIS:
If it is a daughter, bounce her on your knee
And if it is a boy, send the begger out to sea
Singin' bell bottom trousers, coat of navy blue
Oh, he'll climb the riggin', like the sailors used to do

LILYANN:
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 our kiddies in sailor's dungarees.

Bell Bottom Trousers
(Original, as written by Moe Jaffe).

There once was a waitress from the Prince George Hotel
Her mistress was a lady, her master was a swell

They knew she was a simple girl and lately from a farm
And they watched her carefully to keep her from all harm

Chorus:
Singing a bell bottom trousers, coats of navy blue
Let him climb the rigging like his daddy used to do

The 42nd Fusilers came marching into town
And with them came a complement of rapists of renown

They busted every maidenhead that came within their spell
But they never made the waitress from the Prince George Hotel

Chorus

Next came a company of the Prince of Wales Hussars
They piled into a whorehouse they packed along the bars

Every maid and mistress and wife before them fell
But they never made the waitress from the Prince George Hotel

Chorus

One day came a sailor just an ordinary bloke
A bulging at the trousers, a heart of solid oak

At sea without a woman for seven years or more
There wasn't any need to ask what he was looking for

Chorus

He asked her for a candlestick to light his way to bed
He asked her for a pillow to rest his weary head

And speaking to her gently as if he meant no harm
He asked her to come to bed just so to keep him warm

Chorus

He lifted up the blanket and a moment there he lie
He was on her. he was in her, in a twinkling of an eye

He was out again, and in again, and plowing up a storm
And the only word she said to him was "I hope you're keeping warm"

Chorus

Early in the morning the sailor he arose
Saying here's a 2-pound note my dear for the damage I have caused

If you have a daughter bounce her on your knee
If you have a son send the bastard out to sea!

Chorus

(Extra verse) Now she sits beside a dock with a baby on her knee
Waiting for a sailing ship coming a-home from sea

Waiting for the jolly tars in Navy uniform
All she wants to do my boys is keep the Navy warm!

Chorus
