Shoo, shoo, shoo, baby
Shoo, shoo, shoo, baby
Bye, bye, bye, baby
Yo' pappy is off to the seven
seas
Don't cry, baby
And don't sigh, baby
Bye, bye, baby
When I come back we'll live a
life of ease
Seems kinda tough now to say
"Goodbye" this way
But papa's gonna get rough now
So that he can be sweet to you
another day
Bye, bye, baby
Don't cry, baby
Shoo, shoo, shoo, baby
Yo' papa is off to the seven
seas
<lengthy instrumental>
Seems kinda tough now to say
"Goodbye" this way
Your pappy's gonna get rough now
So that he can be nice to you
another day
B---y---e, baby
Don't cry, baby
Shoo, shoo, shoo, shoo, shoo,
baby
Your papa is off to the seven
seas
