I’ve got a brand new bag The old one was such a drag I’m going to the void I’m gonna get destroyed
Sweeping floors working nine to five Working for the weekend just to stay alive Streets are dead but I’m totally wired (backing: It’s 4 am) and my soul is on fire!
And I’m wasted again Tanked up on the juice and gin Wasted again All right!
We’re going to the disco We’re going to he bar We’re going in the snowplough We’re gonna take it far
Sweeping floors working nine to five Working for the weekend just to stay alive Streets are dead but I’m totally wired (backing: Dude it’s 4 am) and my soul is on fire!
And I’m wasted again Tanked up on the juice and gin Wasted again All right!
You know I’m wasted again I’ll never ever feel this good again Wasted again Fuck yeah!
So won’t you meet me in the twilight zone ‘Cause I’m the boy that nobody owns and My body is a temple My body is a temple My body is a temple And tonight I’ll tear it down!
Wasted again Tanked up on the juice and gin Wasted again All right!
You know I’m wasted again I’ll never ever feel this good again Wasted again Fuck yeah!
I’m the boy that nobody owns I’m the boy that nobody owns I’m the boy that nobody owns And I’m wasted!

Henrietta we got no flowers for you Just these three miserable cunts Sitting on the back seat Banging on the off beat We know you love us and you probably do Although you’re husband may cut us He’s such an animal Though everything is possible
Give us a kiss And maybe we can go out It’s hard to miss you When you follow us about Buy us some shoes And maybe take us for cola We’ll get you there In some filthy big gondola
Clean out the bank And bump off your daddy, you can Come live with us Amongst the has-beens and the addicts, these are Crazy times down at Costello music, you can Answer the phone and talk anyway you choose it, come on
Oh, come on Oh, come on
Dear Henrietta we’re just three lonely boys Though the girls love us, we’re so Into you incredibly We’d love to see you terribly We’d love to hate you But we don‘t have no choice Come be our wa-ha-ha-ha Honey, honey three four one time once more
Give us a kiss And maybe we can go out It’s hard to miss you When you follow us about Buy us some shoes And maybe take us for cola We’ll get you there In some filthy big gondola
Clean out the bank And bump off your daddy, you can Come live with us Amongst the has-beens and the addicts, these are Crazy times down at Costello music, you can Answer the phone and talk anyway you choose it, come on
Clean out the bank And bump off your daddy, you can Come live with us Amongst the has-beens and the addicts, these are Crazy times down at Costello music, you can Answer the phone and talk anyway you choose it, come on
Clean out the bank And bump off your daddy, you can Come live with us Amongst the has-beens and the addicts, these are Crazy times down at Costello music, you can Answer the phone and talk anyway you choose it, come on
Woah, come on Oh, come on Woah, come on Oh, come on Woah, come on Oh, come on
Well just because she feeds me well And she made me talk dirty in a pink hotel Doesn’t mean she’s got eyes for me She might just want my bones you see
Hey, flathead, don’t you get mean She’s the second best killer that I ever have seen They don’t come much more sick than you I could go on if you want me to
It’s just so wrong, so very nice I told you once and you killed me twice I saw you one time at the back of the club Chewing on glass and a ticket stub
I heard they kicked the boy till he bled Then stood and said, “Oh, my god” ’till she said, Bada ba bada da da da Bada ba bada da da da Bada ba bada da da da Bada ba bada da da da Bada ba bada da da da Bada ba bada da da da Bada ba bada da da da Bada ba bada da da da
Everybody knows you’re the one to call When the girls get ugly at the back of the wall Josephine says you got a bleedin’ nose So taking it with her wherever she goes
Hey, flathead, don’t check me in Well, hers is a tonic and mine is a gin They don’t come much more slick than you I’d drive your car if you asked me to
Said the boy’s not right in the head And he stood and got a kickin’ instead ’till she said, Bada ba bada da da da Bada ba bada da da da Bada ba bada da da da Bada ba bada da da da Bada ba bada da da da Bada ba bada da da da Bada ba bada da da da Bada ba bada da da da
Do-do-dododo
She said, “The boy’s not right in the head” And he stood and said, “Oh, my god” ’till she said,
Bada ba bada da da da Bada ba bada da da da Bada ba bada da da da Bada ba bada da da da Bada ba bada da da da Bada ba bada da da da Bada ba bada da da da Bada ba bada da da da
I like the way you cross the street ‘Cause I’m precious. Moving through the Cleveland heat, How precious. You’re taking nights and all the kicks: You’re so precious. But you know I ain’t shittin’ bricks, ’cause I’m precious.
He’s picked at fifth and Euclid Avenue: Was real precious. Hotel, still and comin’ into view. How precious. Pity that you bruised my hip, ’cause I’m precious. You shouldn’t let your manners slip: You’re too precious.
Make me wanna - Make me wanna - Maybe make it. We were bound, bound, bound, bound to show it. We want to do it, do it, do it, do it on the pavement. Maybe, maybe I’m going to have a baby. We want to do it -- do it all night.
I was feeling kind of ethereal. ‘Cause I’m precious. I got my eye on your imperial. You’re so precious. Now, Howard the Duck and Mister Strausbow Straid: Precious. Trapped in a world that they never made. But not me, baby -- I’m too precious.

Lyrics
Guess who just got back today Them wild eyed boys, that’d been away Haven’t changed, that much to say But man I still think them cats are crazy
They were asking if you were around How you was, where you could be found Told them you were living downtown Driving all the old men crazy
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 who used to dance a lot? Every night she’d be on the floor, shakin’ what she’s got Man when I tell you she was cool she was redhot I mean she was steamin’
And that time over at Johnny’s place When this chic got up and she slapped Johnny’s face Man we just fell about the place If that chic don’t wanna know forget ‘er
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 around Guess who’s back in town
Just spread the word around
Friday night they’ll be dressed to kill Down at Dino’s bar and grill The drinks will flow and blood would spill And if the boys wanna fight you better let ‘em
That jukebox in the corner blasting out my favourite song The nights are getting warmer it won’t be long Wont be long till 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) (Spread the word around) The boys are back in town (The boys are back in town) (The boys are back, the boys are back)
You’re a real tough cookie With a long history Of breaking little hearts like the one in me That’s okay, lets see how you do it Put up your dukes, let’s get down to it
CHORUS Hit me with your best shot Why don’t you hit me with your best shot Hit me with your best shot Fire Away
You come on with the come on You don’t fight fair That’s okay, see if I care! Knock me down, it’s all in vain I get right back up on my feet again!
CHORUS
(Musical Intrelude)
You’re a real tough cookie with a long history Of breaking little hearts like the one in me Before I put another notch in my lipstick case You better make sure you put me in my place!
Hit me with your best shot… C’mon! Hit me with your best shot… Hit me with your best shot Fire Away!
