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

QUIET

I want a little bit o' quiet in the house please

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
