We've been waitin' for a long time   Yes we've been waitin' for a long long time   We've been waitin' for a long time   But we ain't gonna wait no more   We're getting ready to rock 'n' roll   We're gonna 1-2-3-4, 1-2-3      Well there's a reason everybody's should be shakin' in the house tonight   And you should grab your favorite lady and promise her you do it right   Tell back Jack to jump back and give you some of that booze   So you can party to some stomp down jumpin'   bump and rock 'n' roll and rhythm and blues      Chorus: 'Cause the boys are back in town   The boys are back in town      I know that everybody when they hear the music    they'll be doin' it on the floor   Jump up and down and turn around and tell the band to play some more   Such a night we can dance and romance    and do anything we feel like doin'   Don't look surprise 'cause I know what I like    and tonight we ought to do it      Repeat Chorus   Repeat Verse 1 / Chorus       Ending: The boys are back in town   And when the boys are back   there ain't no foolin' around
