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
And when my money's all gone, I'm on the telephone singing
Hey, hey, Mama can your Daddy come home
Well I'm living wild and dangerously
But I've got plenty of company
When the moon goes up and the sun goes down
I like to see the lights of town
Chorus
'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
And when my money's all gone, I'm on the telephone singing
Hey, hey, Mama can your Daddy come home
Well a pretty girl and a jug of wine
That's all it takes to have a honky tonk time
With the juke box playing those honky tonk sounds
I can't wait to get 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
And when my money's all gone, I'm on the telephone singing
Hey, hey Mama can your Daddy come home
