LYRICS

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?"



I'm livin' fast and a-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 uptown.



'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 jukebox,

But, when my money's all gone,

I'm on the telephone,

Hollerin', "Hey, hey, mama, can your daddy come home?"



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 pretty little gal and a jug of wine.

That's what it takes to make a honky tonk mine.

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

That's when I wanna 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 jukebox,

But, when my money's all gone,

I'm on the telephone,

Hollerin', "Hey, hey, mama, can your daddy come home?"
