Guess who just got back today? Them wild-eyed boys that had been away Haven't changed, haven't much to say But man, I still think them cats are great 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) 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) You know that chick that used to dance a lot? Every night she'd be on the floor shaking what she'd got Man when I tell you she was cool, she was red hot I mean she was steaming And that time over at Johnny's place Well this chick got up and she slapped Johnny 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) 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) Spread the word around Guess who's back in town You spread the word around Friday night they'll be dressed to kill Down at dino's bar and grill The drink will flow and blood will spill And if the boys want to fight, you'd better let them That jukebox in the corner blasting out my favorite song The nights are getting warmer, it won't be long Won't be long till 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 The boys are back in town again They're hanging down at Dino's The boys are back in town again

A música foi inspirada nos fãs da banda, especificamente nos jovens da classe trabalhadora que frequentavam os shows para se divertir e que tinham o hábito de beber bastante.
Lançada em 1976 no álbum Jailbreak, a faixa foi classificada na 499ª posição na lista das 500 Maiores Songs de Todos os Tempos da Rolling Stone.
A revista Rolling Stone elogiou a "alma gaélica" do vocalista Phil Lynott e destacou que o solo de guitarra duplo, executado por Scott Gorham e Brian Robertson, foi crucial para o sucesso da canção.
A faixa é tocada na maioria dos jogos de rugby irlandeses, tornando-se um hino presente nos estádios do esporte.
Em março de 2005, a revista Q posicionou "The Boys Are Back in Town" no número 38 de sua lista das 100 Maiores Faixas de Guitarra.
