[Intro]
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? 🌙
[Verse 1]
I strolled through town on a bright summer night,
The stars were shining, oh what a sight!
I heard the fiddle start to play,
The folks came runnin’ right away.
With stomping feet and laughter loud,
The music gathered quite a crowd,
Buffalo gals in ribbons spun,
Dancing ‘round till the night was done!
[Chorus]
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?
[Verse 2]
The fiddler smiled and strummed his bow,
The banjo plucked that steady flow,
The tambourine went clap, clap, clap,
As kids all joined with a happy tap!
We twirled our friends from left to right,
Spinning round beneath the light,
Our shadows leaped across the ground,
To every joyful, jolly sound!
[Bridge 1]
Clap your hands, now spin once more,
Skip in circles ‘cross the floor,
Take a bow and stomp in time,
Sing that chorus one more rhyme!
Buffalo gals and fellas too,
Everybody’s dancing through,
The night is bright, the stars in tune,
We’ll dance by the light of the moon!
[Chorus]
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?
[Verse 3]
Now when the music starts to fade,
And dreams of morning softly play,
We wave goodbye to all our friends,
But hope the dancing never ends!
For every tune that fills the sky,
Brings joy to hearts both low and high,
We’ll meet again where fiddles croon,
And dance by the light of the moon!
[Bridge 2]
Spin ‘round fast, now slow it down,
Smile big, don’t wear a frown!
Jump and laugh, the night’s not through,
There’s always room for one more too!
The lanterns glow, the fireflies gleam,
The air is warm, like in a dream,
So come along, the night’s in bloom,
Let’s dance by the light of the moon!
[Final Chorus]
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! 🌕
Buffalo gals, sing loud and clear,
We’ll be right back same time next year!
Buffalo gals, the stars all swoon,
When we dance by the light of the moon! 🌙
[Outro]
The crickets hum, the world feels right,
We’ll waltz again another night,
Goodnight to you, till very soon,
We’ll dance by the light of the moon!
