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

gollark: I think that's still the case.
