The Boys are Back in Town
By Thin Lizzy
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.

Dally and Tim shielded their eyes from the bright sun as they walked out of the Tulsa City Jail. When they turned the corner so they were no longer in the view of the jail, they looked at each other and smirked. They had finally been released after two months. Two months just for "disturbing the peace". Ha!
…
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
…
Dally and Tim walked up the stairs to the Curtis' house and knocked on the door. Pony opened it, looking shocked.
"Yo Pony, where's lil' Johnny, how's he doin', you know?", Tim drawled slowly.
"Oh, Johnny is downtown near the border. That's where he usually spends the nights. He drives all the adults crazy because he's so quiet he scares them."
...
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
…
Dally and Tim slammed on Buck's screen door. Buck opened up and let the boys in. On the dance floor a thin blonde girl with way too much make-up and a very skimpy dress was grinding with another man.
...
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
…
Buck walked over to Sylvia and her partner and asked to buy her a drink. The dancers stopped and Sylvia slapped Buck.
She looked him right in the eyes and said, "I ain't no cheata'!"
Dally went up to Sylvia's new boy-toy and punched him in the face. Sylvia screamed but stopped quickly when she saw who it was. She turned and tried to make her way out as fast as she could. Another greaser girl reached out and slapped her across the face saying, "Screw you bitch." A brawl started and Dally and Tim calmly walked out.
…
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
…
Dally and Tim walked to the Dingo. They went to get a couple beers. They leaned against a wall and flirted with a couple of blonde girls. Suddenly Dally felt a hand on his shoulder. He and Tim spun around and saw a group of Socs with baseball bats. Dally and Tim smiled and Tim yanked out his blade.
The surrounding people stepped back to watch. Dally punched a boy in the face and got a bat to the ribs. He got pissed and kneed the other guy in his "area", the other guy dropped. Tim stabbed a Soc through the shoulder. The crowd disappeared as the Socs blood fell, no one wanted to be there when the cops came.
…
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.
