[Verse 1]
C D7
Yesterday I heard a lover sigh,
G7 C
"Goodbye oh me, oh my"
C Dm7 G7
Seven times he got aboard his train
G7 Dm7 G7 C Ebdim Dm7 G7
And seven times he hurried back to kiss his love again, and tell her:
[Verse 2]
C D7
"Toot, toot, Tootsie, Goo' Bye!
G7 C
Toot, toot, Tootsie, don't cry,
C Dm7 G7
The choo choo train that takes me,
G7 Dm7 G7 C Ebdim Dm7 G7
Away from you no words can tell how sad it makes me,
[Chorus 1]
C D7
Kiss me, Tootsie, and then,
G7 C C7
Do it over again
F
Watch for the mail, I'll never fail,
C
If you don't get a letter then you'll know I'm in jail,
C D7
Tut, tut, Tootsie, don't cry,
G7 C
Toot, toot, Tootsie, Goo' Bye!"
[Verse 3]
C D7
When somebody says goodbye to me,
G7 C
I'm sad as I' can be,
C Dm7 G7
Not so with this loving Romeo,
G7 Dm7 G7 C Ebdim Dm7 G7
He seemed to take a lot of pleasure saying bye bye to his treasure:
[Verse 4]
C D7
"Toot, toot, Tootsie, Goo' Bye!
G7 C
Toot, toot, Tootsie, don't cry,
C Dm7 G7
The choo choo train that takes me,
G7 Dm7 G7 C Ebdim Dm7 G7
Away from you no words can tell how sad it makes me,
