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

Your papa's off to the seven seas, the seven seas

Your big tall papa's off to the seven seas
