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 [bad word] 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
