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 that 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, mmm by
With my baby by and by

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

Bye, bye, baby
Remember you're my baby
When they give you the eye
Although I doubt 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 wonderful baby, by and by
