The Boys Are Back In Town (Live 1978)
Guess who just got back today
Them wild-eyed boys that had been away
Haven't changed, hadn't much to say
But, man, I still think them cats are crazy
They were asking if you were around
How you was, where you could be found
Told them you were living downtown
Driving all the old men crazy
The boys are back in town (the boys are back in town)
(I said) 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 (the boys are back in town)
You know that chick that used to dance a lot?
Every night she'd be on the floor shaking what she'd got
Man, when I tell you she was cool, she was red hot
I mean, steaming
And that time over at Johnny's place
Well, this chick got up and she slapped Johnny's face
Man, we fell about the place
If that chick don't want to know, forget her
The boys are back in town (the boys are back in town)
(I said) 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 (the boys are back in town)
Friday night, dressed to kill
Down at Dino's Bar and Grill
Drink will flow and blood will spill
And if the boys want to fight you better let them
That jukebox in the corner blasting out my favourite song
These nights are getting warmer, it won't be long
Won't be long till summer comes
And 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)
Spread the word around
The boys are back in town
Seen them hanging down at Dino's
Them wild-eyed boys that had been away
Haven't changed, hadn't much to say
But, man, I still think them cats are crazy
They were asking if you were around
How you was, where you could be found
Told them you were living downtown
Driving all the old men crazy
The boys are back in town (the boys are back in town)
(I said) 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 (the boys are back in town)
You know that chick that used to dance a lot?
Every night she'd be on the floor shaking what she'd got
Man, when I tell you she was cool, she was red hot
I mean, steaming
And that time over at Johnny's place
Well, this chick got up and she slapped Johnny's face
Man, we fell about the place
If that chick don't want to know, forget her
The boys are back in town (the boys are back in town)
(I said) 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 (the boys are back in town)
Friday night, dressed to kill
Down at Dino's Bar and Grill
Drink will flow and blood will spill
And if the boys want to fight you better let them
That jukebox in the corner blasting out my favourite song
These nights are getting warmer, it won't be long
Won't be long till summer comes
And 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)
Spread the word around
The boys are back in town
Seen them hanging down at Dino's
