shoo shoo baby

you've seen him up and down the avenue

and now he's wearing the navy blue

she had a tear in the corner of her eye

as he said his last goodbye

shoo

shoo

baby

shoo

shoo

baby

bye

bye

bye

baby

your papa's off to the seven seas

don't cry

baby

don't sigh

baby

bye

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 gotta be rough now

so that he can be sweet to you another day

bye

baby

don't cry

baby

shoo

shoo

shoo

baby

your papa's off to the seven seas

bye

bye

bye

baby

don't cry

my baby

shoosh

baby

'cause your papa's off to the seven seas
