The Boys Are Back in Town Songtext
von Phil Lynott

Guess who just got back today
Been so long since they′ve been away
Hadn't changed, hadn′t much to say
But I still think they crazy

They were askin' if you were around
Said you're livin′ downtown
Hey, is that where you can be found
Drivin′ 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)
The boys are back in town (the boys are back in town)

Johhny Angel, he is the killer
He's just frown man from the coast
Makes the hitin′, he's a winner
Leaves you dead, passed the post


Our Lady Luck is still standin′
Keepin' her watchful eye over me
Older boys are all so undemanding
They just runnin′ free

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)
The boys are back in town (the boys are back in town)

Spread the word around
Guess who's back in town?

Spread the word around
Boys are back in town

It was a wild night, he came home drunk
Billy got up and he punched that punk
He said, "We don't need that junk"
Not around here anyway

See, my Lady Luck is still standin′
She′s keepin' her watchful eyes over me
She′s all so undemanding
She just sets free


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

The boys are back in town again
The boys are back in town again
That's why I′m asking if you were around
Said they gonna be hangin' down at Gino′s

Man, I still think them cats are crazy
The boys are back

Let's play my old favorite song
It won't be long ′til the boys are back
