Lyrics
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
Refrain:
I’ll go home and pack my clothes-ies
You go get your these and those-ies
And away we’ll 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 train goes 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
