Shoo Shoo Baby - Billie Holiday, Friends, Dinah Washington

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, sh-sh, baby

Bye, bye, bye baby

Your papa’s off to the seven seas

Do-on't cry baby

Do-on'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-iy-iy baby

Do-on't cry baby

Shoo, shoo, shoo baby

Your papa’s off to the seven seas

Bye Bye Bye baby

Do-on't cry my baby

Shoo-oo-sh baby

Cause your papa’s off to the seven seas
