[Verse 1]

Ab5 Cm7

Guess who just got back today?

Db F7sus

Those wild eyed boys who've been away,

Cm7 F7sus

They haven't changed, haven't had much to say,

Bbm7 Db/Eb

But man I still think those cats are crazy.

Ab5 Cm7

They were askimg me if you were around,

Db E

How you was, and where you could be found,

Cm7 F7sus

I told them you were living down town,

Bbm7 Db/Eb

Driving all the old men crazy.

[Chorus]

Ab5 Bb5 Db5

The boys are back in town. (Boys are back in town)

Ab5

The boys are back in Tow-oo-ow-own,

Bb5 Db5

The Boys are back in town.

Ab5

The Boys are back in town (Boys are back in town)

Bb5 Db5

The Boys are back, The boys are back

[Verse 2]

Ab5 Cm7

Remember that chick who used to dance a lot?

Db F7sus

Every night on the floor she'll be shaking what she got,

Cm7 F7sus

Man I tell you she was cool, she was red hot.

Bbm7 Db/Eb

I mean, she was steaming.

Ab5 Cm7

That one time over at Jonny's place,

Db E

That chick got up and slapped Jonny's face,

Cm7 F7sus

Man we just fell about the place,

Bbm Db

And if that girl don't want to know, forget her.

[Chorus]

[Bridge]

Gb Db Cm7 F7sus

You spread the word around.

Bm7 Db F7sus

Guess whose back in town...oh...

[Verse 3]

Ab5 Cm7

Friday night they'll be dressed to kill,

Db F7sus

Down at Tino's bar and grill,

Cm7 Fsus7

The drinks will flow and the blood will spill,

Bbm7 Db/Eb

And if those boys want to fight, you'd better let 'em.

Ab5 Cm7

The jutebox in the corner blasting out my favorite song,

Db E

The nights are getting warmer and it won't be long,

Cm7 F7sus

It won't belong till summer comes,

Bbm7 Db/Eb

Now that those boys are here again.
