Club Song
Who are who are who are we
We are we are the Buffaloes
B-U-double F-A-L-O-E-S
BUFFALOES
You go home and get your scanties
I'll go home and get my panties
and away we'll go
Ohhhhhhh
Shuffle up the Buffal
Shuffle up the Buffaloes
Old Buffaloes never die, never die, never die
Old Buffaloes never die
They simply fade away
How do you do all you Buffaloes how do you do
How do you do
How do you do all you Buffaloes how do you do
How do you do
It's the same old sweet refrain as the Buffaloes play the game
How do yo do all you Buffaloes how do you do
They all played a jolly good game, parlez vous
They all played a jolly good game, parlez vous
They all played a jolly good game but Buffaloes beat them all the same
Inky pinky parlez vous
How do you do all you Buffaloes how do you do
How do you do
How do you do all you Buffaloes how do you do
How do you do
It's the same old sweet refrain as the Buffaloes play the game
How do you do all you Buffaloes how do you do
Old Buffaloes never die, never die, never die
Old Buffaloes never die
They simply fade away
They simply fade away
They simply fade away
