F#
Working the village shop
A#
Putting a poster up
D#m
Dreaming of anything
F#7              B               A#m7
Dreaming of the time when you're free
               G#m
from all the trouble you're in

F#
In the mud, on your knees
A#
Trying hard not to please
D#m
Anyone, all the time
F#7              B
Being a rebel's fine
           Bm             F#
But you go all the way to being brutal

Chorus:
C#
You will have a boy tonight
You will have a boy tonight
B
On the first bus out of town
On the first bus out of town

So let's see your kit for games
All the girls look the same
You are challenging styles for running miles
You're running miles in some boys jumper
Boo to the business world
You know a girl who's
Tax free on her back and making
Plenty cash
You are working for the joy of giving

Chorus:
You will have a boy tonight
You will have a boy tonight
On the last bus out of town
On the last bus out of town

You will have a boy tonight
You will have a girl tonight
And you hope that they will see
In the hope that they will see

F#
You are in two minds
A#                  D#m                      F#7
Tossing a coin to decide whether you should tell
your folks
         B                 A#m7              G#m
About a dose of thrush you got from licking railings
F#
But you read in a book
A#                     D#m
That you got free from Boots
                   F#7
There are lotions, there are potions
B               Bm                   F#
You can take to hide your shame from all
those prying eyes
F#
Lazy Jane, all the time
A#                     D#m
Painting lines, You're sleeping at bus stops
F#7                B
Wondering how you got your name
    Bm                    F#
And what you're going to do about it.

Chorus:
You will have a boy tonight
You will have a boy tonight
On the last bus out of town
On the last bus out of town

You will have a boy tonight
Maybe you will have a girl tonight
On the last bus out of town
On the last bus out of town

You will have a boy tonight
You will have a boy tonight
And you hope that they will see
And you hope that they will see

You will have a boy tonight
Maybe you will have a girl tonight
And you hope that they will see
Yeah you hope that they will see
