Three Little Sisters

Performed by Woody Herman
Recorded April 23, 1942
Lyric by Irving Taylor, Music by Vic Mizzy

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.
Oh, the three little sisters; 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 some day.
Now the three little sisters, three little sisters
Stay home and read their magazines.
You can tell it to the soldiers,
Tell it to the sailors
And tell it to the Marines.
