Bells
ART-SCHOOL Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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 battleship, in his sailor suit
Just a great big sailor man, but he's just as cute

Bell bottom trousers, coat of navy blue
She loves her sailor and he loves her too
When they walk along the street, anyone can see
They are, oh, so much in love, happy as can be
Hand-in-hand they stroll along, they don't give a hoot
He won't let go of her hand, even to salute

Bell bottom trousers, coat of navy blue
She loves her sailor and he loves her too

When her sailor boy's away on the ocean blue
Soldier boys all flirt with her, but to him she's true
Though they smile and tip their caps, and they wink their eyes
She just smiles and shakes her head, and she softly sighs





Bell bottom trousers, coat of navy blue
She loves her sailor and he loves her too

Once there was a little girl, who lived next to me
There was a girl who lived near me


And she loved a sailor boy, he was only three
She loved a boy who was a sailor, but very young


Now he's on a battleship, in his sailor suit
He is now on a battleship, dressed as a sailor


Just a great big sailor man, but he's just as cute
He's grown into a man, but still cute to her


When they walk along the street, anyone can see
It's obvious to anyone when they're together in public


They are, oh, so much in love, happy as can be
They are very much in love and happy


Hand-in-hand they stroll along, they don't give a hoot
They walk holding hands and don't care what others think


He won't let go of her hand, even to salute
He loves her so much that he won't even let go of her hand to salute


When her sailor boy's away on the ocean blue
When he's away at sea


Soldier boys all flirt with her, but to him she's true
Other soldiers flirt with her, but she remains loyal to him


Though they smile and tip their caps, and they wink their eyes
The soldiers flirt with her in a friendly way


She just smiles and shakes her head, and she softly sighs
She responds to their flirting with a smile, but still longs for her sailor


Bell bottom trousers, coat of navy blue
Describing the sailor's uniform


She loves her sailor and he loves her too
They love each other
