When I was a maid down in Drury Lane
My mistress was so good to me my master was the same
Singing bell bottom trousers coats of navy blue
Climb down the rigging like his daddy used to do
Along came a sailor singing merrily
And he is the cause of all my misery
Singing bell bottom trousers coats of navy blue
Climb down the rigging like his daddy used to do
He asked me for a candle to light his way to bed
He asked me for a pillow to rest his weary head
Singing bell bottom trousers coats of navy blue
Climb down the rigging like his daddy used to do
And I like a silly girl thinking it no harm
Jump to the sailor's bed to keep the sailor warm
Singing bell bottom trousers coats of navy blue
Climb down the rigging like his daddy used to do
He left next morning at the break of day
And he was leaving I could be here insane
Singing bell bottom trousers coats of navy blue
Climb down the rigging like his daddy used to do
Take this five pound note for the damage I have done
For you may have a daughter or you may have a son
Singing bell bottom trousers coats of navy blue
Climb down the rigging like his daddy used to do
Now if it is a daughter bounce her on your knee
And if it is a son send the bastard outta sea
Singing bell bottom trousers coats of navy blue
Climb down the rigging like his daddy used to do
The moral of the story as you can plainly see
Never trust a sailor an inch above your knee
Singing bell bottom trousers coats of navy blue
Climb down the rigging like his daddy used to do
Singing bell bottom trousers coats of navy blue
Climb down the rigging like his daddy used to do
Singing bell bottom trousers…
