Dinty Lyr Req: Bellbottom Trousers (3) Bellbottom Trousers 07 Oct 99


My grandfather was a WWII generation marine and used to sing a Navy song to me that he called Bellbottom Trousers. I can only remember a small fragment of the song which went something like this:

Singing bellbottom trousers, coats of Navy blue Swinging through the rigging like his daddy used to do If you have a daughter bounce on your knee If you have a son send the rascal off to sea

I think this is the chorus of a much longer song. Any tips on where I might find the rest of it?
