I'm familiar with the tune, but I'm more familiar with the Andrews Sisters version. Here 'tis: 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 shoo baby Shoo shoo shoo baby Bye bye bye baby (doo dah doo day) Your papa's off to see the seven seas Don't cry baby Don't sigh baby Bye bye bye baby (doo dah doo 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 (doo dah doo day) Your papa's off to see the seven seas (Break) Quiet! I want a little bit of quiet in the house She wants a little bit of quiet in the home today When did Ella Mae Morse die anyhoo? I have some sweet 78's of her tunes, my favorite being Cow Cow Boogie. Ah well. Hope the lyrics help. MTM
