Yesterday I heard a lover sigh
"Goodbye, 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.....
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 goodbye to his treasure.....
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!

As recorded by Spike Jones & His City Slickers:
Toot, Toot, Tootsie, Goodbye
(Ernie Erdman / Gus Kahn / Robert A. King / Ted Fio Rito)
Yesterday you shoulda heard me sigh
Goodbye, oh me oh my
Now seven times I got aboard my train
And seven times I hurried back to kiss my gal again
And tell her
Toot, toot, tootsie goodbye
Oh 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
Oh 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
So long now, toot, toot, tootsie don't cry
Toot, toot, tootsie goodbye
(Muscial Break)
Don't grieve tootsie you know
It breaks my heart to go
Oh when I am blue here's what I'll do
I'll kiss a girl and close my eyes and think she is you
So long now, toot, toot, tootsie don't cry
Toot, toot, tootsie goodbye
