Lyrics

42nd Street Soundtrack Miscellaneous Shuffle Off To Buffalo Now that we have had the rice and flowers, The knot is tied; 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
