Lyrics & Music: Phil Moore

Shoo, shoo, shoo, baby.
Shoo, shoo, shoo, baby.
Bye, bye, bye, baby.
Doo-dah-doo-day.
Your papa's off to the seven seas.

Don't cry, baby,
and don't sigh, baby.
Bye, bye, bye, baby.
Doo-dah-doo-day.
When I come back we'll live a life of ease.

Seems kind of 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.
Doo-dah-doo-day.
Your papa's off to the seven seas.

Shoo, baby.
Do-dah do-day.
Shoo, baby.
Do-dah do-day.
Shoo, baby.
Shoo, shoo, quiet!

I want a little bit of quiet in the house, please.
(She wants a little bit of quiet in her house).
Sweet 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, shoo, my baby. Shoooo.
Goodbye baby, don't you cry no more,
your big tall papa's off to the seven seas.

Seems kind of tough now
to say goodbye this way,
but papa's gotta' be rough now
so that he can be sweet to you another day.

Shoo, baby. Shoo, 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.
