Bye bye baby
Remember you're my baby
When they give you the eye,
Although I know that you care
Won't you write and declare
That though on the loose
You are still on the square

* I'll be gloomy
But send that rainbow to me
Then my shadows will fly
Though you'll be gone for a while
I know that I'll be smilin'
With my baby by and by

And by
With my baby, by and by

Bye bye baby, bye bye
Baby bye
Bye

Bye bye pretty baby
You better remember you're my baby
When they give you the eye, my my
Although I know that you care
Won't you write and declare
That though on the loose
You are still stayin' on the square

* repeat

With my baby, by and by

I'll be in my room alone
Every post meridian
And I'll be with my diary
And that book by Mister Gideon
Bye bye baby
Remember you're my baby
When they give you the eye
And just to show you I care
I will write and declare
That I'm on the loose
But I'll stay on the square

I'll be lonely
But even though I'm lonely
There'll be no other guy
Though I'll be gone for a while
I know that I'll be smilin'
With my baby by and by and by
With my baby by and by

* repeat
