The boys are back
The boys are back in town
Guess who just got back today
Them wild-eyed boys that'd been away
Haven't changed, had much to say
But man, I still think them cats are crazy
They were askin' if you were around
How you was, where you could be found
Told them you were livin' downtown
Drivin' all the old men crazy
The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town
You know that chick that used to dance a lot
Every night, she'd be on the floor, shakin' what she's got
Man, when I tell ya she was cool, she was red hot
And that time over at Johnny's place
Well, this chick, she got up and slapped Johnny's face
Man, we just fell about the place
If that chick don't wanna know, forget her
The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town
Friday night they'll be dressed to kill
Down at Deano's bar and grill
The drink will flow, and blood will spill
And if the boys wanna fight you better let 'em
That jukebox in the corner blasting out my favorite song
The nights are gettin' warmer, it won't be long
Won't be long 'til summer comes
Now that the boys are here again
The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town
Guess who just got back today
Them wild-eyed boys that'd been away
Haven't changed, had much to say
But man, I still think them cats are crazy
They were askin' if you were around
How you was, where you could be found
Told them you were livin' downtown
Drivin' all the old men crazy
The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town
You know that chick that used to dance a lot
Every night, she'd be on the floor, shakin' what she's got
Man, when I tell ya she was cool, she was red hot
And that time over at Johnny's place
Well, this chick, she got up and slapped Johnny's face
Man, we just fell about the place
If that chick don't wanna know, forget her
The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town
Friday night they'll be dressed to kill
Down at Deano's bar and grill
The drink will flow, and blood will spill
And if the boys wanna fight you better let 'em
That jukebox in the corner blasting out my favorite song
The nights are gettin' warmer, it won't be long
Won't be long 'til summer comes
Now that the boys are here again
The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town
