भट्टी भएछ बार
बार भएछ फेन्स
स्लाक्स भेएछ टाइट
जाङे भएछ सर्ट

डि भि पर्ने हिरो
अङ्रेजिमा जिरो
स्कुल जाने ठिटो हुन्छ रिसले आगो
डाह गर्ने जती हुन्छन चाउरिएर मरिच झै कालो ।

Don't know about 'Buffalo Soldier' but 'Buffalo Wings' is named after a New York state city called Buffalo, which is famous for its mouth watering chicken wings. It is like saying 'Kentucky Fried Chicken'.
