There were three little sisters Three little sisters And each one only in her teens One loved a soldier One loved a sailor And one loved a lad from the marines For the three little sister They were the fairest From Iceland to the Philippines So said the soldier So said the sailor And so said the lad from the marines
And when the boys marched away The girls said they`d be true until The boys came back someday
Now the three little sisters Three little sisters Stay home and read their magazines You can tell it to the soldier Tell it to the sailor And tell it to the marine
