G                   D/F#
Guess who just got back today
C                    D#
Them wild eyed boys that had been away.
Bm                        E
Haven't changed, hadn't much to say
Am7                           D
But, man, I still think them cats are crazy.

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.

Chorus:
    G
The boys are back in town,
                         Am C
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 ya she was cool, she was red hot
And that time over at Johnny's place

Well, this chick, she got up and slapped Johnny's face
Man, we just fell about the place
If that chick don't wanna know, forget her

Chorus

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 Deano's bar and grill
The drink will flow, and blood will spill
And if the boys wanna fight you better let 'em

That jukebox in the corner blasting out my favorite song
The nights are gettin' warmer, it won't be long
Won't be long 'til summer comes
Now that the boys are here again

Chorus
