Toot Toot Tootsie 1922

by James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 17 Sep 2005

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 Goodbye!
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, Goodbye!

Toot Toot Tootsie Goodbye!
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, Goodbye!

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:

Toot Toot Tootsie Goodbye!
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, Goodbye!

Toot Toot Tootsie Goodbye!
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, Goodbye!
