Lyrics
- 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!
- 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
