Testo Three Little Sisters

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 was only in her teens

One loved a soldier

One loved a sailor boy

And I loved the lad from the marines



Oh, my two little sisters

They were the fairest of all

From Iceland right to the Philippines

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

Tell it to the marine
