Whiskey in the Jar

Guess who just got back today? <br/> Those wild-eyed boys that had been away <br/> Haven't changed, haven't much to say <br/> But man, I still think those cats are great <br/> <br/> They were asking if you were around <br/> How you was, where you could be found <br/> I told them you were living downtown <br/> Driving all the old men crazy <br/> <br/> The boys are back in town <br/> <br/> You know the chick that used to dance a lot <br/> Every night she'd be on the floor shaking what she'd got <br/> Man when I tell you she was cool, she was red hot <br/> I mean she was steaming <br/> <br/> That night over at Johnny's place <br/> Well this chick got up and she slapped Johnny's face <br/> Man we just fell about the place <br/> If that chick don't want to know, forget her <br/> <br/> Friday night they'll be dressed to kill <br/> Down at Dino's bar and grill <br/> The drink will flow and blood will spill <br/> If the boys want to fight, you'd better let them <br/> <br/> That jukebox in the corner blasting out my favorite song <br/> The nights are getting warmer, it won't be long <br/> It won't be long till summer comes <br/> Now that the boys are here again <br/> <br/> The boys are back in town
