Lyrics Dinah Washington – Shoo Shoo Baby
Text:
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
