(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
