Lyrics

What did the detective say?
He didn't say nothing, actually
Just asked us what we're doin' sitting in the car
Said we were waiting for the lights to change
He said, "Boys, you're actin' mighty strange
Boys, if I were you
Boys, I wouldn't do
I wouldn't do what you were gonna do"
Well, we hopped back into the car
Wound the window up tight
Well, we couldn't help but laughing
When-uh he came over and he opened the door
He said, "Boys, what are you laughing for?
Boys, out on your feet
Boys, we're going down
We're going down to Russell Street"
What did the detective say?
What did the detective say?
What did the detective say?
He said, "You'd better be going, better be on your way"
I said, "Boys"
I said, "Boys"
Said, "Boys"
Well, we hopped back into the car
Wound the windows up tight
Well, we couldn't help but laughing
When-uh he came over and he opened the door
He said, "Boys, What are you laughing for?
Boys, out on your feet
Boys, we're going down
We're going down to Russell Street"
What did the detective say?
What did the detective say?
What did the detective say?
He said, "You'd better be going, better be on your way"
Boys
