(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
