Thin Lizzy Trouble Boys song lyrics

The Trouble Boys came in

I guess they'd been out fighting and a'raving

It wasn't long before they moved in

And picked up the girls that we'd brought to

It closed at ten o'clock I had to move fast

To get my baby back from the Trouble Boys

Twenty-five guys from the east side of the city

Kings of hell-raising in the neigborhood

One of them walked up and started dancing with my baby

Who was crying because I didn't stop him

All I could say honey was "This guy is bigger than the both of us"

Trouble Boys, and the Trouble Boys all around me

No one like getting sand kicked in their face

But I don't know anyone who'd stand face to face with the Trouble Boys

Yes the Trouble Boys

I thought to myself it was time to make a move

I breathed my last sigh and I started to groove with my babe

Who was still dancing with the other guy

By the look in her eye I was a martyr

'Cause no one cuts in on the Trouble Boys

Twenty-five gorillas standing all around

I was shaking like a leaf on an Autumn tree

The leader came up and took me by the hand

He shook it like a brother

He didn't crush it after all

He said, "You're ok, you're the only one who's stood up to the Trouble Boy
