Bell Bottom George - George Formby

Now i can guess

That some of you are wondering at my navy blues

Or how i came to be

Oh a sailor on the sea

You may think that i'm too daft to know

What's forward and which is aft

But when i've sung my song

Oh you'll all agree you're wrong

A happy go lucky a b on the land or the sea

I know a few nautical games

And my name's bell bottom george

A girl in each port may be true of the boys dressed in blue

A sailor i know has got three and it's me

Bell bottom george

It's the same to me as we sail to tripoli

Or we go back home to dover

I can go ashore and have one or two more

Till i'm feeling half seas over

Adventures i've had by the score

What a life what a war

If ever you get in a scrap i'm your chap

Bell bottom george

When others are up to their necks pulling ropes

Scrubbing decks

Who slips on the soap and goes

Whiz down on his bell bottom george

The admiral's not a bad guy we get on he and i

He speaks when we meet on the stair

Gangway there bell bottom george

And the chief is grand so i always lend a hand

With a grin and a smart aye aye sir

And it's fun by gum when i've had a tot of rum

I'm the champion main brace splicer

I've sailed the dead sea and the med

And the black and the red

There's only the suck it

And see left for me bell bottom george
