[Intro]
And dance by the light of the moon

[Verse 1]
I was lumbering down the street
Down the street, down the street
Handsome gal I chanced to meet
Oh, she was fair to view

[Chorus]
Buffalo gals can't you come out tonight
Can't you come out tonight, can't come out tonight?
Buffalo gals can't you come out tonight
And dance by the light of the moon

[Verse 2]
I asked her would she have a dance
Have a dance, have a dance
I thought I might get a chance
To shake a foot with her

[Chorus]
Buffalo gals can't you come out tonight
Can't you come out tonight, can't come out tonight?
Buffalo gals can't you come out tonight
And dance by the light of the moon
[Verse 3]
I'd like to make that gal my wife
Gal my wife, gal my wife
I'd be happy all my life
If I had her by me

[Chorus]
Buffalo gals can't you come out tonight
Can't you come out tonight, can't come out tonight?
Buffalo gals can't you come out tonight
And dance by the light of the moon

[Verse 4]
I asked her would she have some talk
Have some talk, have some talk
Her feet covered up the whole sidewalk
And she stood close by me

[Chorus]
Buffalo gals can't you come out tonight
Can't you come out tonight, can't come out tonight?
Buffalo gals can't you come out tonight
And dance by the light of the moon
Buffalo gals can't you come out tonight
Can't you come out tonight, can't come out tonight?
Buffalo gals can't you come out tonight
And dance by the light of the moon
Buffalo gals can't you come out tonight
Can't you come out tonight, can't come out tonight?
Buffalo gals can't you come out tonight
And dance by the light of the moon
