(Oh, my liberty Belle, my pretty little belle)
|
(You kissed me once and you knew darned well)
|
(Oh, you knew darned well, my liberty belle)
|
(I'd love nobody but you)
|
|
There's pretty girls in Singapore and the Philippines
|
All along Killarney shore, oh, the fair colleens
|
There's sweet Fifi from gay Paree and Wilhelmina, too
|
But Belle, Belle, my liberty belle, I'm still in love with you
|
|
When stars are like a string of pearls 'round a blue lagoon
|
How the Bali Bali girls dance beneath the moon
|
Now while they dance I'll take a chance and steal a glance or two
|
But Belle, Belle, my liberty belle, I'm still in love with you
|
|
BRIDGE:
|
I'll march, march, march the whole world over (over)
|
I'll sail, sail, sail the ocean blue (sail the ocean blue)
|
They've made my blinkin' heart a rover (a rover)
|
But it's never hardly ever away from you
|
|
Of all the girls in Singapore and the Philippines
|
You're girl that I adore, kiss in all my dreams
|
I'll hold you soon beneath the moon, till then sweetheart be true
|
'cause Belle, Belle, my liberty belle, I'm still in love with you
|
|
(Belle, Belle, Belle)
|
|
Of all the girls in Singapore and the Philippines
|
You're girl that I adore, kiss in all my dreams
|
I'll hold you soon beneath the moon, till then, sweetheart be true
|
'cause Belle, Belle, my liberty belle, I'm still in love with you
|
|
Oh, my liberty Belle, my pretty little belle
|
You kissed me once and you knew darned well
|
Oh, you knew darned well, my liberty belle
|
I'd love nobody but you
|
|
I love nobody but you
