  • 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 and roll
    We're gonna 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3

    Well, there's a reason everybody
    Should be shakin' in the house tonight
    And you should grab your favorite lady
    And promise her you'll do it right

    Tell Fat Jack to jump back
    And give you a shot of some booze
    So you can party to some stomp-down
    Butt-bumpin', rock and roll, rhythm and blues

    'Cause the boys are back in town
    The boys are back in town
    I know that everybody when they hear the music
    Will be doin' it on the floor

    Jump up and down they turn around
    And tell the band to play some more
    'Cause tonight you can dance and romance
    And do anything you feel like doin'

    But don't look surprised 'cause you know
    What I like and tonight we ought to do it
    'Cause the boys are back in town
    The boys are back in town, oh, yeah

    Well, there's a reason everybody
    Should be shakin' in the house tonight
    And you should grab your favorite lady
    And promise her you'll do it right

    Tell Fat Jack to jump back
    And give you a shot of some booze
    So you can party to some stomp-down
    Butt-bumpin', rock and roll, rhythm and blues

    'Cause the boys are back in town
    The boys are back in town, yeah yeah yeah
    The boys are back in town and when the boys are back
    There ain't no foolin' around Writer/s: Brian O'neal
