Off Minor - 1998 Digital Remaster by Thelonious Monk Lyrics

42nd Street Soundtrack
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
