_ _ [G] All the way through this series, I've sworn to you that we would never bring you an act like the Boomtown Rats.
And I've kept my promise.
This is not an act like the Boomtown Rats.
It is the Boomtown Rats! _ _ _ _

[G] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ There [G] was a lot of rockin' [E] goin' on that night. _
[G] _ Cruisin' town [E] for the young bright light.
[G] Just down past the gas [E] house by the meat factory door,
[C] the five-lamb boys were comin' on strong.
[G] The Saturday night city beat had [Em] already started,
[G] and the punks at the corner boys [Em] just rang into [G] action.
And young Billy watched [Em] them, the yellow streetlights, and [C] said,
Tonight, _ [D] I've all night. _
[Em] _ It's gonna be a fight night. _ _ _
[G] Billy don't like it [Em] livin' here in this town.
[G] He said.
Trapped in the strong line [Em] before he was born.
[G] He said.
Hope and the dust [E] behind all [Em] the closed [G] doors.
I'm pussin' grime [Em] ooze from the scab-pussin' [C] zone.
Screamin' and cryin' in the high-rise block.
[G] It's a rat trap, Billy, but you're [E] already caught.
Hey, [Em] you can make it if you wanna, or you need it better.
[C] You're young and good at it again, and your acting kinda tough.
[G] Anyway, it's Saturday night.
Time [D] to see what's goin' down.
[Em] Put on the light suit, Billy, and head for the right side of town.
[C] It's only eight o'clock, but you're already bored.
You [G] don't know what it is, but [D] there's gotta be more.
[Em] You better find a way out.
Hey, kick down that door.
It's [C] a rat trap, _ [D] _ and you've [Em] been caught. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _ [Am]
In this [Em] town, Billy [Am] says, [Em] everybody's tryin' to tell [E] you what to do.
_ _ _ [Am] _ In this town, Billy says, [Em] everybody says you're [E] tryin' to follow me.
_ _ _ You [Am] walk up to traffic lights, you switch to your left, to your right.
You push in that button, and that button [C] goes that light.
[D] If you walk the walk, walk the [Em] walk.
Talk the talk, _ talk the talk.
[D] Walk the walk, walk the walk.
[Em] Talk the talk, talk the talk.
[Am] Hey, Billy, tickle walk, tickle walk, tickle, uh [Em]-huh.
Billy, tickle walk, tickle walk, tickle, uh [Am]-huh.
Billy, tickle walk, tickle, tickle, uh-huh.
[Em] Billy, _ _ _ tickle [G] walk with me.
_ [Em] _
If you wanna do [G] it.
