Lyrics
[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 jukebox
But when my money's all gone, I'm on the telephone singin'
Hey, hey, mama, can your daddy come home?
[Verse 1]
Well, now, I'm livin' wild and dangerously
But I've got plenty of company
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 jukebox
And when my money's all gone, I'm on the telephone singin'
Hey, hey, mama, can your daddy come home?
[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 jukebox
And when my money's all gone, I'm on the telephone singin'
Hey, hey, mama, can your daddy come home?
[Verse 2]
Hey now, a pretty little girl and a jug of wine
Well, that's what it takes to make a honky tonk time
The jukebox moanin' those honky tonk sounds
Well, 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 jukebox
But when my money's all gone, I'm on the telephone singin'
Hey, hey, mama, can your daddy come home?
[Chorus]
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
When my money's all gone, I'm on the telephone singin'
Hey, hey, mama, can your daddy come home?
