I'm a honky tonk man and I can't seem to stop
I love to give the girls a whirl to the music of an old jukebox
But when my money's all gone I'm on the telephone
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
Jukebox a moanin' a honky tonk sound
That's when I wanna lay my money down

Cause I'm a honky tonk man...
[ harmonica ]
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 wanna see the lights of town

Cause I'm a honky tonk man...
It takes a purty little gal and a jug of wine...
Cause I'm a honky tonk man...
