Lyrics and translation George Formby - Bell Bottom George
Now
I
can
guess
that
some
of
you
are
wondering
at
my
navy
blues
Je
peux
deviner
que
certains
d'entre
vous
se
demandent
pourquoi
je
porte
cet
uniforme
bleu
marine
Or
how
I
came
to
be
- oh
a
sailor
on
the
sea
Ou
comment
je
suis
devenu
un
marin
en
mer
You
may
think
that
I′m
too
daft
to
Tu
pourrais
penser
que
je
suis
trop
stupide
pour
Know
what's
forward
and
which
is
aft
Savoir
ce
qui
est
à
l'avant
et
ce
qui
est
à
l'arrière
But
when
I′ve
sung
my
song
- Oh,
you'll
all
agree
you're
wrong
Mais
quand
j'aurai
chanté
ma
chanson,
tu
conviendras
que
tu
te
trompes
A
happy-go-lucky
A.B.
on
the
land
or
the
sea
Un
marin
joyeux
et
insouciant
sur
terre
ou
en
mer
I
know
a
few
nautical
games
and
my
name′s
Bell
Bottom
George
Je
connais
quelques
jeux
nautiques
et
mon
nom
est
Bell
Bottom
George
A
girl
in
each
port
may
be
true
of
the
boys
dressed
in
blue
Une
fille
dans
chaque
port,
c'est
peut-être
vrai
pour
les
garçons
en
bleu
A
sailor
I
know
has
got
three
and
it′s
me,
Bell
Bottom
George
Un
marin
que
je
connais
en
a
trois,
et
c'est
moi,
Bell
Bottom
George
It's
the
same
to
me
as
we
sail
to
Tripoli
or
we
go
back
home
to
Dover
C'est
pareil
pour
moi,
que
nous
naviguions
vers
Tripoli
ou
que
nous
retournions
à
Douvres
I
can
go
ashore
and
have
one
or
two
Je
peux
aller
à
terre
et
prendre
un
verre
ou
deux
More
till
I′m
feeling
half-seas-over
Jusqu'à
ce
que
je
sois
un
peu
ivre
Adventures
I've
had
by
the
score,
what
a
life,
what
a
war
J'ai
eu
des
aventures
à
la
pelle,
quelle
vie,
quelle
guerre
If
ever
you
get
in
a
scrap
I′m
your
chap,
Bell
Bottom
George
Si
jamais
tu
te
retrouves
dans
une
bagarre,
je
suis
ton
homme,
Bell
Bottom
George
When
others
are
up
to
their
necks
pulling
ropes,
scrubbing
decks
Quand
les
autres
sont
jusqu'au
cou
à
tirer
sur
les
cordes,
à
frotter
les
ponts
Who
slips
on
the
soap
and
goes
- whiz
- down
on
his
Bell
Bottom
George
Qui
glisse
sur
le
savon
et
va
- whiz
- sur
son
Bell
Bottom
George
The
Admiral's
not
a
bad
guy,
we
get
on,
he
and
I
L'amiral
n'est
pas
un
mauvais
garçon,
on
s'entend
bien,
lui
et
moi
He
speaks
when
we
meet
on
the
stair,
Il
me
parle
quand
on
se
croise
dans
l'escalier,
"Gangway
there
Bell
Bottom
George"
"Faites
attention,
Bell
Bottom
George"
And
the
chief
is
grand
so
I
always
lend
a
hand
Et
le
chef
est
super,
alors
j'aide
toujours
With
a
grin
and
a
smart
"Aye,
Aye
Sir"
Avec
un
sourire
et
un
"Oui,
oui,
monsieur"
bien
placé
And
it′s
fun
by
'gum'
when
I′ve
had
a
tot
of
rum
Et
c'est
vraiment
amusant
quand
j'ai
bu
un
peu
de
rhum
I′m
the
champion
main
brace
splicer
Je
suis
le
champion
de
l'épissure
de
la
grande
brasse
I've
sailed
the
Dead
Sea
and
the
Med,
and
the
Black
and
the
Red
J'ai
navigué
sur
la
Mer
Morte
et
la
Méditerranée,
et
sur
la
Noire
et
la
Rouge
There′s
only
the
suck
it
and
see
left
for
me
Bell
Bottom
George
Il
ne
me
reste
plus
qu'à
essayer
et
voir,
Bell
Bottom
George
