The Boys Are Back In Town Lyrics

[00:24.42] Guess who just got back today?
[00:27.72] Them wild-eyed boys that had been away
[00:31.18] Haven't changed, had much to say
[00:33.47] But man, I still think them cats are crazy
[00:37.04] They were askin' if you were around
[00:39.56] How you was, where you could be found
[00:42.65] I told 'em you were livin' downtown
[00:45.54] Drivin' all the old men crazy
[00:48.30] The boys are back in town (the boys are back in town)
[00:53.86] I said (the boys are back in town)
[00:57.21] (The boys are back in town)
[01:00.18] The boys are back in town
[01:01.93] (The boys are back in town)
[01:03.28] The boys are back in town
[01:04.42] (The boys are back in town)
[01:07.00]
[01:18.85] You know that chick that used to dance a lot
[01:21.72] Every night she'd be on the floor, shakin' what she's got
[01:24.71] Man, when I tell you she was cool, she was red-hot
[01:27.76] I mean, she was steamin'
[01:30.56] And that time over at Johnny's place
[01:33.55] Well, this chick got up and she slapped Johnny's face
[01:36.71] Man, we just fell about the place
[01:38.97] If that chick don't wanna know, forget her
[01:41.82] The boys are back in town (the boys are back in town)
[01:47.60] I said (the boys are back in town)
[01:50.94] (The boys are back in town)
[01:53.92] The boys are back in town
[01:55.38] (The boys are back in town)
[01:57.10] The boys are back in town
[01:58.20] (The boys are back in town)
[02:01.08]
[02:15.41] Spread the word around
[02:18.32] Guess who's back in town
[02:21.82]
[02:25.83] Just spread the word around
[02:29.25]
[02:36.00] Friday night they'll be dressed to kill
[02:39.10] Down at Dino's Bar'n'Grill
[02:41.86] The drink will flow and blood will spill
[02:44.16] And if the boys wanna fight, you better let 'em
[02:47.84] That jukebox in the corner blastin' out my favorite song
[02:51.01] The nights are getting longer, it won't be long
[02:54.07] Won't be long 'til summer comes
[02:56.92] Now that the boys are here again
[02:59.13] The boys are back in town (the boys are back in town)
[03:05.15] (The boys are back in town)
[03:08.24] (The boys are back in town)
[03:11.12] The boys are back in town
[03:12.76] (The boys are back in town) spread the word around
[03:17.08] The boys are back in town
[03:18.74] (The boys are back in town)
[03:19.96] The boys are back, the boys are back
[03:23.38]
[03:56.76] The boys are back in town again
[04:00.53]
[04:02.59] Been hangin' down at Dino's
[04:06.90]
[04:13.92] The boys are back in town again
[04:15.30]
