Chorus: 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 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
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 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 But when my money's all gone, I'm on the telephone singing Hey, hey, mama can your daddy come home
