As I was walking down the street,
Down the street, down the street,
A handsome fellow I chanced to meet,
Oh, he was fair to see.

Buffalo Gals, won't you come out tonight,
Come out tonight, come out tonight.
Buffalo Gals, won't you come out tonight
And dance by the light of the moon.

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

Buffalo Gals, won't you come out tonight,
Come out tonight, come out tonight.
Buffalo Gals, won't you come out tonight
And dance by the light of the moon.

He asked me if I’d have a dance,
Have a dance, have a dance,
He thought that he might have a chance
To shake a foot with me.

Buffalo Gals, won't you come out tonight,
Come out tonight, come out tonight.
Buffalo Gals, won't you come out tonight
And dance by the light of the moon.
