There were three little sisters |
|
Three little sisters |
|
And each one only in her teens |
|
One loved a soldier |
|
One loved a sailor |
|
And one loved a lad from the marines |
|
For the three little sister |
|
They were the fairest |
|
From Iceland to the Philippines |
|
So said the soldier |
|
So said the sailor |
|
And so said the lad from the marines |
|
And when the boys marched away |
|
The girls said they'd be true until |
|
The boys came back someday |
|
Now the three little sisters |
|
Three little sisters |
|
Stay home and read their magazines |
|
You can tell it to the soldier |
|
Tell it to the sailor |
|
And tell it to the marine |
|
(scat singing) |
|
Three little sisters |
|
Two little sisters of mine |
|
And each one's only in her teens (ah-h-h-h) |
|
One loved a soldier |
|
One loved a sailor boy |
|
I loved the man from the marines |
|
Oh, my two little sisters |
|
They were the fairest of all |
|
From Iceland right to the Philippines (ah-h-h-h) |
|
So said the soldier |
|
So said the sailor boy |
|
So said the guy from the marines |
|
And when the boys marched away |
|
The girls said they'd be true until |
|
The boys marched back someday |
|
Now, the three little sisters |
|
The three little sisters |
|
Stay home, home and read their magazines |
|
You can tell it to the soldier |
|
Tell it to the sailor |
|
Oooooh, tell it to the marine |
