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
