Sunrise Serenade: Bye, Bye Baby?

This morning's Sunrise Serenade is a puzzler.  I believe it was an instrumental by Bob (Bing's little brother) Crosby called either "Bye Bye Baby" or "Say Bye, Bye," but I cannot find a version anywhere that matches the tune.  Never fear, I will investigate this mystery and report my findings!

UPDATE:  I was right!  It was "Bye Bye Baby," just a hard to find instrumental version.  Click on the song title to hear a sample courtesy of ArtistDirect.
