Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Guess who just got back today
Them wild eyed boys that had been away
Haven't changed, had much to say
But, man, I still think them cats are crazy
[Verse 2]
They were asking if you were around
How you was, where you could be found
I told them you were living downtown
Driving all the old men crazy
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
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 she was steaming
[Verse 5]
And that time over at Johnny's place
Well, this chick got up and she slapped Johnny's face
Man, we just fell about the place
If that chick don't wanna know, forget her
[Verse 6]
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
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
[Verse 7]
Spread the word around
Guess who's back in town
Just spread the word around
[Verse 8]
Friday night they'll be dressed to kill
Down at Dino's Bar and Grill
The drink will flow and blood will spill
And if the boys wanna fight, you better let 'em
[Verse 9]
That jukebox in the corner blasting out my favorite song
The nights are getting warmer, it won't be long
Won't be long till summer comes
Now that the boys are here again
[Verse 10]
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
Spread the word around
The boys are back in town, the boys are back in town
Boys are back, boys are back
[Verse 11]
The boys are back in town again
Been hanging down at Dino's
The boys are back in town again
Go spread the word around
Guess who's back, guess who's back in town again
