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 give his love again and tell her:
Toot Toot Tootsie goodbye.
Toot Toot Tootsie, don’t cry.
That little choo-choo train
That takes me Away from you, no words can tell how sad it makes me.
Kiss me Tootsie and then,
Oh baby, do it over again.
Watch for the mail;
I’ll never fail,
And if you don’t get a letter then you’ll know I’m in jail.
Toot Toot Tootsie, don’t cry.
Toot Toot Tootsie, goodbye!
When somebody says goodbye to me Oh I’m sad as can be.
Not so with this loving Romeo.
He seems to take a lot of pleasure saying goodbye to his treasure.
Toot Toot Tootsie, bye bye bye bye bye!
Toot Toot Tootsie, don’t cry.
The little choo-choo, the little train
That takes, that takes me Away from you, no words can tell how sad it makes me.
Kiss me, kiss me Tootsie and then
Oh, do it over again.
And though I yearn
You need to learn
I’ll keep playing Solitaire until I return.
Don’t cry tootsie, don’t cry!
Toot Toot Tootsie, goodbye!
