Lyrics of The Boys Light Up by Australian Crawl

verse

I will tell you 'bout my mountain home

Where all the ladies names are Joan

Where husbands work back late at night

Hopes are up for trousers down with hostess on a business flight

verse

Taxi in a Mercedes drive

I hope that driver's coming out alive

The garden is a dorsetted

That lady, she's so corseted

She's got 15 ways to lead that boy astray

verse

He thinks he's one and only

But that lovely she's so lonely

She pumps him full of breakfast

And she sends him on his way

pre-chorus

What a sing song dance

What a performance

What a cheap tent show

Oh, no, no, no, no, no

chorus

Then the boys light up

Then the boys light up

Then the boys light up

Then the boys light up, light up, light up

Then the boys light up

Then the boys light up

Then the boys light up

Then the boys light up, light up, light up

verse

Silently she opens the drawer

Mother's little helper is coming out for more

Strategically positioned before the midday show

Her back is arched, those lips are parched

Repeated blow by blow

verse

And later at the party all the MPs rave

'Bout the hummers she's been givin' and the money that they save

To her it is skin lotion, him promotion too

That flat in Surfer's Paradise with the ocean view

pre-chorus

What a sing song dance

What a performance

What a cheap tent show

Oh, no, no, no, no, no

chorus

Then the boys light up

Then the boys light up

Then the boys light up

Then the boys light up, light up, light up

Then the boys light up

Then the boys light up

Then the boys light up

Then the boys light up, light up, light up

chorus

Then the boys light up

Then the boys light up

Then the boys light up

Then the boys light up, hey

Then the boys light up

Then the boys light up

Then the boys light up

Then the boys light up

chorus

Then the boys light up

Then the boys light up

Then the boys light up

Then the boys light up, light up, light up

Then the boys light up

Then the boys light up

Then the boys light up

Then the boys light up, light up, light up

chorus

Then the boys light up

Then the boys light up

Then the boys light up

Then the boys light up, light up, light up

Then the boys light up

Then the boys light up

Then the boys light up

Then the boys light up, light up, light up

outro

Then the boys light up

Then the boys light up

Then the boys light up

Then the boys light up
