Verse:
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.
 
Chorus:
I'll go home and get my panties, You go home and get your scanties, And away we'll go. 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!
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.
