Miscellaneous

Shuffle Off To Buffalo

Bert:

Now that we have had the rice and flowers,

The knot is tied;

Annie:

I can visu’lize such happy hours,

Close by your side.

The honeymoon in store

Is one that you’ll adore,

I’m gonna take you for a ride.

Annie, Bert, Maggie and Girls:

I’ll (You'll) go home and get my panties,

You (I'll) go home and get your scanties,

And away we’ll go.

Mm mm mm…

Off we’re gonna shuffle,

Shuffle off to Buffalo.

To Niag’ra in a sleeper,

There’s no honeymoon that’s cheaper,

And the train goes slow.

Ooh ooh ooh!

Off, we’re gonna shuffle,

Shuffle off to Buffalo.

Someday, the stork may pay a visit

And leave a little souvenir.

Just a little cute «what is it,»

But we’ll discuss that later, dear.

For a little silver quarter,

We can have the pull man porter

Turn the lights down low.

Ooh!

Off we’re gonna shuffle,

Shuffle off to Buffalo.

You’ll go home and get your purses,

I’ll go get my niece and nurses,

And away we’ll go.

Mm mm mm…

Off we’re gonna shuffle,

Shuffle off to Buffalo.

To Niag’ra in a sleeper,

There’s no honeymoon that’s cheaper,

And the train goes slow.

Ooh ooh ooh!

Off, we’re gonna shuffle,

Shuffle off to Buffalo.

Someday, the stork may pay a visit

And leave a little souvenir.

Just a little cute «what is it,»

But we’ll discuss that later, dear.

For a little silver quarter,

We can have the pull man porter

Turn the lights down low.

Ooh!

Off we’re gonna shuffle,

Shuffle off to Buffalo.

Matrimony is baloney

She’ll be wanting alimony

In a year of so

Still they go and shuffle

Shuffle Off to Buffalo

When she knows as much as we know

She’ll be on her way to Reno

While he still has dough

She’ll give him the Shuffle

When they’re back from Buffalo
