Trouble Boys

Lyrics

The trouble boys came in
 I guessed they'd been out fightin' and ravin'
 It wasn't long before they moved in and picked up
 The girls we brought to the dance at the night spot
 It closed at ten so 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 neighborhood
 Well, one of them walked up and started dancin' with my girl
 Who was cryin' 'cause I didn't stop him
 All I could say to my baby was
 "Honey, this man is bigger than the both of us"
 He's a trouble boy and there's trouble boys all around me
 No one likes gettin' sand kicked in their face
 I don't know anyone who'll stand face to face
 With the trouble boys, yeah, the trouble boys
 Well, I thought to myself it's time to make my move
 I breathed my last sigh and I started to groove with my baby
 Who was still dancin' with the other guy
 By the look in her eye I was a martyr
 She knew I was dead
 'Cause no one cuts in on the trouble boy
 Yeah, the trouble boys and the trouble boys all around me
 No one likes gettin' sand kicked in their face
 I don't know anyone who'll stand face to face
 With the trouble boys, yeah, the trouble boys
 Twenty five gorillas all around me
 I was shakin' like a leaf on a autumn tree
 The leader came up and he grabbed my hand
 And he shook it like a brother, didn't crush it after all
 He said,? Good shot buddy, you're the only guy
 Who's stood up to a trouble boy?
 Yeah, the trouble boy and the trouble boys all around me
 No one likes gettin' sand kicked in their face
 I don't know anyone who'll stand face to face
 With the trouble boys, yeah, the trouble boys
 No one likes gettin' sand kicked in their face
 But I know someone who can stand face to face
 With the trouble boys, yeah, the trouble boys
 No one likes gettin' sand kicked in their face
 But I know somebody who can stand face to face
 With the trouble boys, yeah, the trouble boys
 No one likes gettin' sand kicked in their face
 But I know somebody
