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
