The Boys Are Back in Town (Thin Lizzy) Songtext
von Wilco

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
They were askin' if you were around
How you was, where you could be found
I told ′em you were livin' downtown
Drivin' 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, shakin′ what she's got
Man, when I tell you she was cool, she was red-hot
I mean, she was steamin′


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

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)

Spread the word around

Guess who′s back in town

Just spread the word around

Friday night they'll be dressed to kill

Down at Dino's Bar′n′Grill
The drink will flow and blood will spill
And if the boys wanna fight, you better let 'em
That jukebox in the corner blastin′ out my favorite song
The nights are getting longer, 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
(The boys are back in town) spread the word around
The boys are back in town
(The boys are back in town)
The boys are back, the boys are back

The boys are back in town again

Been hangin′ down at Dino's

The boys are back in town again
