Bye bye baby
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 smiling
With my baby, by and by

(Bye, bye baby, so long)
Bye bye baby
(just you that you're my baby when)
When they give you the eye
(And although we know that you care, you better write and declare)
That though on the loose, you are still on the square
(So long)

I'll be gloomy
(gloomy)
But send that rainbow to me.
(Then the shadows will fly)
Though you'll be gone for a while
I know that I'll be smiling
With my baby by and by
With my baby by and by
(bye, bye baby)
