I haven't see you around since I was a youth

Yeah, they've really cleaned up this town

They cracked down on you

But lately I see changes

I see some beautiful changes

You're back, Ratso Rizzo

You're back, Ratso Rizzo

I'm glad, Ratso Rizzo

You're back in town

Yeah, every hang-out I had had become a boutique

And every local bar turned to one with a theme

But thanks to a deep recession

There's no more gentrification

You're back, Ratso Rizo

You're back, Ratso Rizo

I'm glad, Ratso Rizo

You're back in town

You're back in town

Hangin' around

You are my pal

Lately I see changes

I see some beautiful changes

Some beaten-up faces

Yeah, you strut around wasted

It makes me elated

You're back, Ratso Rizzo…

You're back, Ratso Rizo

I'm glad, Ratso Rizo

You're back in town

You're back in town

Hangin' around

You are my pal

Ratso Rizzo
