During the ensemble number, "Shuffle Off To Buffalo," Una Merkel and Ginger Rogers perform a duet from their berth on the train. The final stanza reads.
"He did right by little Nellie/With a shotgun in his belly/How could he say No?/He just had to Shuffle, Shuffle off to Buffalo.
Ginger stumbles over the word "belly" and substitutes "tummy," which breaks the rhyming pattern. While eating her banana, Una's expression becomes one of a surprise when she hears the miscue. (Actually, this is an intentional gag: Rather than say the coarse (for the times) "belly", Ann (Ginger Rogers) quickly substitutes the more genteel "tummy", and Lorraine (Una Merkel) reacts with mock shock to her almost saying "belly".)
