Words & Music:

Robert Feldman, Gerald Goldstein, & Richard Gottehrer

 

[n.c. – spoken over hand claps]

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.

 

D

My boyfriend's back and you're gonna be in trouble.

G            A                   D

Hey-la!  Hey-la!  My boyfriend's back!

When you see him coming, 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 coming after you.

Hey-la!  Hey-la!  My boyfriend's back!

 

D        G                            D      G

Hey!  He knows what you been trying.  And he knows that you been lying.

 

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 cheating.  Now you're gonna get a beating.

 

BRIDGE:

G                                                D

What made you think he'd believe all your lies?  Aah-ooh, aah-ooh!

G                                                     D         A

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 coming.  Now you better start a-running.

 

My boyfriend's back, he's gonna save my reputation.

Hey-la!  Hey-la!  My boyfriend's back!
