I'm a honky -tonk man,
and I can't seem to stop
I love to give the girls the world
to the music of an old jukebox
But when my money's all gone,
I'm on the telephone
Callin', hey, hey, mama,
can your daddy come home?
Well, I'm livin' fast and 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
Callin' hey, hey, mama
Can your daddy come home?
Yeah, 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
Callin', hey, hey, mama,
can your daddy come home?
It takes a pretty little giggle
and a jug of wine
That's what it takes to make
a honky -tonk mind
With the jukebox a -moanin',
the 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 the world
To the music of an old jukebox
But when my money's all gone
I'm on the telephone
Callin' hey, hey mama
Can your daddy come home
