Lyrics Dinah Washington

Dinah Washington

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
