| You’ve seen him up and down the avenue
|
| And now he’s wearin' the navy blue
|
| She had a tear in the corner of her eye
|
| As he said his last goodbye
|
| Shoo, shoo, shoo baby
|
| Shoo, shoo, shoo baby
|
| Bye, bye, bye baby
|
| Do-dah do-day
|
| Your papa’s off to the seven seas
|
| Don’t cry baby
|
| Don’t sigh baby
|
| Bye, bye, bye baby
|
| Do-dah do-day
|
| When I come back we’ll live a life of ease
|
| Seems kinda tough now
|
| To say goodbye this way
|
| But papa’s gotta be rough now
|
| So that he can be sweet to you another day
|
| Bye, bye, bye baby
|
| Don’t cry baby
|
| Shoo, shoo, shoo baby
|
| Do-dah do-day
|
| Your papa’s off to the seven seas
|
| (Shhh-shoo baby) Do-dah do-day
|
| (Shhh-shoo baby) Do-dah do-day
|
| (Shhh-shoo baby, shoo, shoo)
|
| Quiet!
|
| I want a little bit o' quiet in the house, please
|
| (She wants a little bit of quiet in the house)
|
| So your papa’s on his way to cross the seven seas
|
| So don’t you cry, oh, don’t you sigh goodbye now
|
| Shoo, shoo baby Shooo-oo-oo
|
| Shoo, shoo my baby Shoooo
|
| Goodbye baby, don’t you cry no more
|
| Your big tall papa’s off to the seven seas
|
| Seems kinda tough now
|
| To say goodbye this way
|
| But papa’s gotta be rough now
|
| So that he can be sweet to you another day
|
| Shhhh baby, shhhh baby
|
| Shoo, shoo, shoo baby
|
| Goodbye, goodbye
