VERSE 1:
[F5] Guess who just got
[Am7] back today?
[A#] Those wild-eyed boys
[D7sus4] that had been away
[Am7] Haven't changed, hadn't
[D7sus4] much to say
[Gm7] But man, I still think them
[Gm7/C] cats are crazy
VERSE 2:
[F5] They were asking
[Am7] if you were around
[A#] How you was, where you
[C#] could be found
[Am7] I told them you were living
[D7sus4] downtown
[Gm7] Driving all the old men
[Gm7/C] crazy

VERSE 3:
[F5] You know the chick that
[Am7] used to dance a lot
[A#] Every night she'd be
[D7sus4] on the floor shaking what she'd got
[Am7] Man when I tell ya,
[D7sus4] "she was cool, she was red hot"
[Gm7] I mean she was
[Gm7/C] steaming
VERSE 4:
[F5] That night over at
[Am7] Johnny's place
[A#] Well this chick got up
[C#] and she slapped Johnny's face
[Am7] Man we just
[D7sus4] fell about the place
[Gm7] If that chick don't want to know, forget her

[Am7] Spread the
[D7sus4] word around
[Gm7]
Guess who's back in
[C9sus4] town?
[D7sus4] [A#sus4] [A#]
You spread the
[Am7] word around
[D7sus4] [Gm7] [C9sus4] [D7sus4]
VERSE 5:
[F5] Friday night they'll be
[Am7] dressed to kill
[A#] Down at dino's
[D7sus4] bar and grill
[Am7] The drink will flow and
[D7sus4] blood will spill
And if the
[Gm7] boys want to fight, you'd better let them
VERSE 6:
[F5] That jukebox in the corner
[Am7] blasting out my favorite
[A#] song
The nights are getting
[C#] warmer, it won't be long
[Am7] It won't be long till
[D7sus4] summer comes
[Gm7] Now that the boys are here again
