Verses:

I was walking down the street,  Down the street,  Down the street,

A handsome gal I chanced to meet,  Oh she was fair to see.

 

I stopped her and we had a talk,  Had a talk,  Had a talk,
Her feet took up the whole sidewalk,  And left no room for me.

 

I asked her if she'd have a dance,  Have a dance,  Have a dance,
I thought that I might have a chance,  To shake a foot with her.

 

Chorus:

Buff 'lo gals please come out tonight,  Come out tonight,  Come out tonight,

Buff 'lo gals please come out tonight,  And dance by the light of the moon.
