Lyrics

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, doo-dah-doo-day Your pappa's off to the seven seas Do-on't cry baby, do-on't sigh baby Bye-bye-bye baby, doo-dah-doo-day When I come back we'll live a life of ease Seems kind of tough now To say goodbye this way But pappa's gotta be rough now So that he can be sweet to you another day Bye-bye-bye baby, do-on't cry baby Shoo-shoo-shoo baby, doo-dah-doo-day Your papa's off to the seven seas Shhh-shoo baby, do-dah-doo-day Shhh-shoo baby, do-dah-doo-day Shhh-shoo baby, shoo-shoo Wait a minute, I want a little bit of quiet in the house, please She wants a little bit of quiet in the house My papa's on his way across the seven seas So don't you cry-hy, don't you sigh, goodbye Now shoo-shoo baby, shoo-oo-oo-oo-oo Shoo-shoo my baby, shoo... Goodbye baby, don't you cry no more Your big a-tall papa's off to the seven seas Seems kind of tough now To say goodbye this way-ay But papa's got to be rough now So that he can be sweet to you another day Shhhh baby, shhhh baby Shoo-shoo-shoo baby, goodbye, goodbye Your papa's off to the seven seas, the seven seas Your big tall papa's off to the seven seas
