Lyrics

(G)Guess who just got back to day?

Them wild eyed boys (Em)that had been a way.

Had n’t changed, had n’t (Em)much to say,

but, man, I still think them cats are cra zy.

They were ask ing if you (Bm)were a round,

how you was, where you (Eb)could be found.

I told them you were liv ing (Em)down town,

driv ing all the old men (Am)cra zy.

The (G5)boys are back in town, the boys are back in town.

I say, the (G5)boys are back in town,

the (A5)boys are back in town.

The (G5)boys are back in town.

The boys are back in town.

The (A5)boys are back in town.

The (C5)boys are back in town.

(G)Guess who just got back to day?

Them wild eyed boys (Em)that had been a way.

Had n’t changed, had n’t (Em)much to say,

but, man, I still think them cats are cra zy.

They were ask ing if you (Bm)were a round,

how you was, where you (Eb)could be found.

I told them you were liv ing (Em)down town,

driv ing all the old men (Am)cra zy.

The (G5)boys are back in town, the boys are back in town.

I say, the (G5)boys are back in town,

the (A5)boys are back in town.

The (G5)boys are back in town.

The boys are back in town.

The (A5)boys are back in town.

The (C5)boys are back in town.

Spread the (Em)word a round.

Guess who’s back in (Am)town!
