|
Toot Toot Tootsie (Goo' Bye) is a 1922 song that debuted in the Broadway musical Bombo. The song was a major hit, and it was soon a number one hit for Al Jolson - who in 1923 was the first to record the song. In 1927, the song was performed by Al Jolsen in the hit film The Jazz Singer. A year before appearing in that historic first feature length film with synchronized sound, the song actually made it's first big screen appearance in a 1926 installment of Max Fleischer's Song Car-Tunes series. The song was composed by Gus Kahn, who was contributing compositions to many successful Broadway shows at the time. With the advent of sound he began to write for motion pictures, and by 1933 Kahn was working full-time as a motion picture songwriter.

TOOT TOOT TOOTSIE
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 give his love again and tell her:
Toot Toot Tootsie goodbye.
Toot Toot Tootsie, don't cry.
That little choo-choo train
That takes me
Away from you, no words can tell how sad it makes me.
Kiss me Tootsie and then,
Oh baby, do it over again.
Watch for the mail;
I'll never fail,
And if you don't get a letter then you'll know I'm in jail.
Toot Toot Tootsie, don't cry.
Toot Toot Tootsie, goodbye!
When somebody says goodbye to me
Oh I'm sad as can be.
Not so with this loving Romeo.
He seems to take a lot of pleasure saying goodbye to his treasure.
Toot Toot Tootsie, bye bye bye bye bye!
Toot Toot Tootsie, don't cry.
The little choo-choo, the little train
That takes, that takes me
Away from you, no words can tell how sad it makes me.
Kiss me, kiss me Tootsie and then
Oh, do it over again.
And though I yearn
You need to learn
I'll keep playing Solitaire until I return.
Don't cry tootsie, don't cry!
Toot Toot Tootsie, goodbye!
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 give his love again and tell her:
Toot Toot Tootsie goodbye.
Toot Toot Tootsie, don't cry.
That little choo-choo train
That takes me
Away from you, no words can tell how sad it makes me.
Kiss me Tootsie and then,
Oh baby, do it over again.
Watch for the mail;
I'll never fail,
And if you don't get a letter then you'll know I'm in jail.
Toot Toot Tootsie, don't cry.
Toot Toot Tootsie, goodbye!
When somebody says goodbye to me
Oh I'm sad as can be.
Not so with this loving Romeo.
He seems to take a lot of pleasure saying goodbye to his treasure.
Toot Toot Tootsie, bye bye bye bye bye!
Toot Toot Tootsie, don't cry.
The little choo-choo, the little train
That takes, that takes me
Away from you, no words can tell how sad it makes me.
Kiss me, kiss me Tootsie and then
Oh, do it over again.
And though I yearn
You need to learn
I'll keep playing Solitaire until I return.
Don't cry tootsie, don't cry!
Toot Toot Tootsie, goodbye!
