TOOT, TOOT, TOOTSIE (GOO' BYE)
Words and music by Gus Kahn, Ernie Erdman and Dan Russo
New York: Leo. Feist, Inc., 1922.
"Al. Jolson's big hit in 'Bombo'"

1. Yesterday I heard a lover sigh,
"Good-bye, oh me, oh my!"
Seven times he got aboard his train,
And seven times he hurried back to kiss his love again, and tell her:

CHORUS: "Toot, toot, Tootsie, Goo' Bye!
Toot, toot, Tootsie, don't cry.
The choo-choo train that takes me
Away from you no words can tell how sad it makes me.
Kiss me, Tootsie, and then,
Do it over again.
Watch for the mail.
I'll never fail.
If you don't get a letter then you'll know I'm in jail.
Tut, tut, Tootsie, don't cry.
Toot, toot, Tootsie, Goo' Bye!"

2. When somebody says goodbye to me,
I'm sad as I can be.
Not so with this loving Romeo.
He seemed to take a lot of pleasure saying bye-bye to his treasure: CHORUS
