(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
