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

You know that chick that used to dance a lot
Every night, she’d be on the floor, shakin’ what she’d got
Man, when I tell you she was cool, she was red hot
I mean, she was steamin’
And that time 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

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 aroundThe boys are back in town
Guess who’s back in town?
You spread the word around

Friday night, they’ll be dressed to kill
Down at Dino’s Bar ‘n’ Grill
The drink will flow and blood will spill
And if the boys want to fight, you better let ’em
That jukebox in the corner blastin’ out my favorite song
The nights are getting warmer, it won’t be long
Won’t be long ’til the summer comes
Now that the boys are here again

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

The boys are back in town again
Been hangin’ down at Dino’s
The boys are back in town again

Mush-a ring, dum-a doo-dam-a-da
Whack for my daddy-o
Whack for my daddy-o
There’s whiskey in the jar-o

I took all of his money and it was a pretty penny
I took all of his money and I brought it home to Molly
She swore that she’d love me, never would she leave me
But the devil take that woman, for you know she tricked me easy

Mush-a ring, dum-a doo-dam-a-da
Whack for my daddy-o
Whack for my daddy-o
There’s whiskey in the jar-o

Being drunk and weary, I went to Molly’s chamber
Takin’ my Molly with me and I never knew the danger
For about six or maybe seven in walked Captain Farrell
I jumped up, fired off my pistols, and I shot him with both barrels

Mush-a ring, dum-a doo-dam-a-da
Whack for my daddy-o
Whack for my daddy-o
There’s whiskey in the jar-o

Now some men like the fishin’ and some men like the fowlin’
And some men like to hear the cannon ball a-roarin’
And me, I like sleepin’, ‘specially in my Molly’s chamber
But here I am in prison, here I am with a ball and chain yeah

Mush-a ring, dum-a doo-dam-a-da
Whack for my daddy-o
Whack for my daddy-o
There’s whiskey in the jar-o

And I got drun on whiskey
And I loved, I loved, I loved, I loved
I loved, I loved my Molly
And you know I will neve
But I will burn it down, I’ll burn it all dowm

“I’m damned”
“Indeed, comrade”
“I’m being bombed”
And all the people’s faces turned strawberry blonde

By the morning gate the friendly ranger waits
For the sun making sure it’s not late
“Just in time” “No need to fear” “Well, just in case”
And all the people are happy for another year

And in the evening shade he climbs upon the sun
Getting it’s glow
He goes on
Singing this song

To feel the goodness glowing inside
To walk down the street with my arms about your hips
Side by side
To play with a sad eyed child till he smiles
To look at a starry sky at night, realize the miles

To see the sunset behind the steeple
Clontarf Castle, no King, Queen or knightly people
A coal fire and it’s pouring rain
To wave goodbye to a very good friend
Never meet again
Little thoughts bring
Little memories
Of you to me
