Well, I'm a honky-tonk man, and I can't seem to stop

Love to give the girls a whirl to the music of an old jukebox

And when my money's all gone

I'm on the telephone

Saying, "he-ey, mamma, can your daddy come home?"

Well, I'm livin' wild and dangerously,

And I've got plenty of company

The moon comes up and the sun goes down

And I can't wait to see the lights of town.

'cause I'm a honky-tonk man, and I can't seem to stop

Love to give the girls a whirl to the music of an old jukebox

And when my money's all gone

I'm on the telephone

Saying, "he-ey, mamma, can your daddy come home?"

Well, I'm a honky-tonk man, and I can't seem to stop

Love to give the girls a whirl to the music of an old jukebox

And when my money's all gone

I'm on the telephone

Saying, "he-ey, mamma, can your daddy come home?"

Well, now, a pretty little girl and a jug of wine

That's what it takes to make a honky-tonk time

With the jukebox a-moanin' a honky-tonk sound

And I can't wait to lay my money down.

'cause I'm a honky-tonk man, and I can't seem to stop

Love to give the girls a whirl to the music of an old jukebox

And when my money's all gone

I'm on the telephone

Saying, "he-ey, mamma, can your daddy come home?"

Well, I'm a honky-tonk man, and I can't seem to stop

Love to give the girls a whirl to the music of an old jukebox

And when my money's all gone

I'm on the telephone

Saying, "he-ey, mamma, can your daddy come home?"
