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...

[ guitar ]

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...
