A C#m7
Guess who just got back today
D F#sus4 C#m7
Them wild eyed boys that had been away.
F#sus4
Haven’t changed, hadn’t much to say
Bm7 Bm7/E
But, man, I still think them cats are crazy.

A C#m7
They were asking if you were around,
D F
How you was, where you could be found.
C#m7 F#sus4
I 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.

A C#m7
You know that chick that used to dance a lot
D F#sus4
Ev’ry night she’d be on the floor shakin’ what she’d got.
C#m7 F#sus4
Man, when I tell you she was cool, she was red hot!
Bm7 Bm7/E
I mean she was steaming.

A C#m7
And at that time over at Johnny’s place,
D F
Well, this chick got up and she slapped Johnny’s face.
C#m7 F#sus4
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

A C#m7
Friday night they’ll be dressed to kill
D F#sus4
Down at Dino’s bar and grill
C#m7 F#sus4
The drink will flow and the blood will spill

And if the boys wanna fight you better let ’em.

A C#m7 D
That jukebox in the corner blasting out my fav’rite song.

The nights are getting warmer, it won’t be long,
F#sus4
Won’t be long till summer comes

Now that the boys are here again.
