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

[BERT]
The honeymoon in store
Is one that you'll adore
I'm gonna take you for a ride

[ANNIE & BERT]
I'll (You'll) go home and get your panties
You (I'll) go home and get my scanties
And away we'll go
Ooh ooh ooh!
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 ooh ooh!
Off we're gonna shuffle
Shuffle off to Buffalo

[GIRLS]
You'll go home and get your purses
I'll go get my niece and nurses
And away we'll go
Ooh ooh ooh!
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 ooh ooh!
Off we're gonna shuffle
Shuffle off to Buffalo

[MAGGIE JONES]
Matrimony is baloney
She'll be wanting alimony
In a year of so

[ENSEMBLE]
Ooh ooh ooh!

[MAGGIE JONES]
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
[ENSEMBLE]
Ooh ooh ooh!

[MAGGIE JONES]
She'll give him the Shuffle

[MAGGIE JONES & ENSEMBLE]
When they're back from Buffalo

[MAGGIE JONES (ENSEMBLE)]
She was just the farmer's daughter (Ooh ooh ooh)
And the salesman made his sale! (Ooh ooh ooh)
What she got she didn't order, (Ooh ooh ooh)
And you can't return by mail! (Ooh ooh!)

To the chapel nearly got him
With some buttshard in his bottom
How could he say no? (Ooh ooh ooh)
He just had to shuffle

[MAGGIE JONES & ENSEMBLE]
Shuffle off to Buffalo!

[ENSEMBLE]
Ohh!

For a little silver quarter
We can have the pull man porter
Turn the lights down low
Ooh ooh ooh!
Off we're gonna shuffle
How we're gonna shuffle
Shuffle, shuffle, shuffle
Shuffle, shuffle, shuffle
To Buffalo
