Shuffle Off To Buffalo 1932 '42nd Street'

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 26 May 2002

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.

I'll go home and pack my clothies,
you go get your these and thosies,
and away we go;
Mmm!
Off we're gonna shuffle,
shuffle off to Buffalo.
To Niag'ra in a sleeper,
there's no honeymoon that's cheaper,
and the trains go slow;
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 Pullman porter
turn the lights down low;
Ooh!
Off we're gonna shuffle,
shuffle off to Buffalo.

I'll go home and pack my clothies,
you go get your these and thosies,
and away we go;
Mmm!
Off we're gonna shuffle,
shuffle off to Buffalo.
To Niag'ra in a sleeper,
there's no honeymoon that's cheaper,
and the trains go slow;
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.
While the passengers are sleeping
The conductor will be keeping
all the lights down low;
Ooh!
Off we're gonna shuffle,
shuffle off to Buffalo.
Shuffle off to Buffalo.

With the wedding ring upon your finger,
It's done, we're one;
It's not customary that we linger
and so let's go.
We'll dodge the rice and shoes,
we're going for a cruise
'way up the road to Buffalo.

I'll go home and pack my clothies,
you go get your these and thosies,
and away we go;
Mmm!
Off we're gonna shuffle,
shuffle off to Buffalo.
To Niag'ra in a sleeper,
there's no honeymoon that's cheaper,
and the trains go slow;
Ooh!
Off we're gonna shuffle,
shuffle off to Buffalo.
Someday the stork may pay a visit,
and leave a little souvenir,
