Verse:
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:
 
Chorus:
"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, Toootsie, 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!"
