Well I'm a honky tonk man and I can't seem to stop
Yeah I love to give the girls a whirl to the music of an old jukebox
But when my moneys all gone I'm on the telephone
A hollerin' hey hey mama can your daddy come home

It takes a purty little gal and a jug of wine
That's what it takes to make a honky tonk mind
With the jukebox a moanin' honky tonk sound
That's when I want to lay my money down
Cause I'm a honky tonk man...

Well I'm living fast and dangerously but I've got plenty of company
When the moon comes up and the sun goes down
That's when I want to see the lights of town
Cause I'm a honky tonk man...
