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
