A C#m7
You know that chick that used to dance a lot

Ev'ry night she'd be on the floor shakin' what she'd got.
C#m7 F#m
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#m
Man! We just fell about the place.
Bm7 Bm7/E
If that chick don't wanna know, forget her!

The boys are back in town, the boys are back in town

Friday night they'll be dressed to kill
D F#m
Down at Dino's bar and grill
C#m7 F#m
The drink will flow and the blood will spill
Bm7 Bm7/E
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,

Won't be long till summer comes

Guess who just got back today?
Those wild-eyed boys that had been away
Haven't changed, haven't much to say
But man, I still think those cats are great
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
The boys are back in town
You know the chick that used to dance a lot
Every night she'd be on the floor shaking what she'd got
Man when I tell you she was cool, she was red hot
I mean she was steaming
That night 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 want to know, forget her
Friday night they'll be dressed to kill
Down at Dino's bar and grill
The drink will flow and blood will spill
If the boys want to fight, you'd better let them
That jukebox in the corner blasting out my favorite song
The nights are getting warmer, it won't be long
It won't be long till summer comes
Now that the boys are here again
The boys are back in town

Those wild-eyed boys that had been away
Haven't changed, haven't much to say
But man, I still think those cats are great
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

You know the chick that used to dance a lot
Every night she'd be on the floor shaking what she'd got
Man when I tell you she was cool, she was red hot
I mean she was steaming

Guess who just got back today?
Those wild-eyed boys that had been away
Haven't changed, haven't much to say
But man, I still think those cats are great
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
The boys are back in town
You know the chick that used to dance a lot
Every night she'd be on the floor shaking what she'd got
Man when I tell you she was cool, she was red hot
I mean she was steaming
That night 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 want to know, forget her
Friday night they'll be dressed to kill
Down at Dino's bar and grill
The drink will flow and blood will spill
If the boys want to fight, you'd better let them
That jukebox in the corner blasting out my favorite song
The nights are getting warmer, it won't be long
It won't be long till summer comes
Now that the boys are here again
The boys are back in town
