Well 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 juke box

But when my money's all gone

I'm on the telephone singing

Hey hey mama can your daddy come home

Now I'm living wild and dangerously

But I've got plenty of company

When the moon comes up

And the sun goes down

I can't wait to see the lights of town

'Cause 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 juke box

But when my money's all gone

I'm on the telephone singing

Hey hey mama can your daddy come home

'Cause 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 juke box

But when my money's all gone

I'm on the telephone singing

Hey hey mama can your daddy come home

A pretty little girl and a jug of wine

Well that's what it takes to make a honky tonk time

With the juke box moaning those honky tonk sounds

I can't wait to lay my money down

'Cause 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 juke box

But when my money's all gone

I'm on the telephone singing

Hey hey mama can your daddy come home

'Cause 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 juke box

But when my money's all gone

I'm on the telephone singing

Hey hey mama can your daddy come home
