SPOKEN
<He went away and you hung around 
And bothered me every night
And when I wouldn't go out with you
You said things that weren't very nice>

My boyfriend's back and you're gonna be in trouble
(Hey-la, hey-la, my boyfriend's back)
When you see him comin', better cut out on the double
(Hey-la, hey-la, my boyfriend's back)

You been spreading lies that I was untrue
(Hey-la, hey-la, my boyfriend's back)
So look out now 'cause he's comin' after you
(Hey-la, hey-la, my boyfriend's back)

Hey, he knows what you been tryin'
And he knows that you been lyin'

He's been gone for such a long time
(Hey-la, hey-la, my boyfriend's back)
Now he's back and things'll be fine
(Hey-la, hey-la, my boyfriend's back)

You're gonna be sorry you were ever born
(Hey-la, hey-la, my boyfriend's back)
'cause he's kinda big and he's awful strong
(Hey-la, hey-la, my boyfriend's back)

Hey, he knows I wasn't cheatin'
Now you're gonna get a beatin'

What made you think he'd believe all your lies?
(Aah-ooh, aah-ooh)
You're a big man now but he'll cut you down to size
(Aah-ooh)
Wait and see!

My boyfriend's back, he's gonna save my reputation
(Hey-la, hey-la, my boyfriend's back)
If I were you, I'd take a permanent vacation
(Hey-la, hey-la, my boyfriend's back)

Hey, I can see him comin'
Now you better start a'runnin'
<brief instrumental interlude>
(Aah-ooh, aah-ooh)
<brief instrumental interlude>
(Aah-ooh)
Wait and see!

My boyfriend's back, he's gonna save my reputation
(Hey-la, hey-la, my boyfriend's back)

Yeah, my boyfriend's back
Well look out now, my boyfriend's back
Well, I can see him comin' so you better get a'runnin' a'right now
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

FADE
My boyfriend's back
