[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
But when my money's all gone, I'm on the telephone
Callin' hey hey mama, can your daddy come home?

[Verse 1]
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 want 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
But when my money's all gone, I'm on the telephone
Callin' hey hey mama, can your daddy come home?

[Instrumental Chorus]

[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
But when my money's all gone, I'm on the telephone
Callin' hey hey mama, can your daddy come home?

[Verse 2]
It takes a purty little gal and a jug of wine
That's what it takes to make a honky-tonk mind
With the jukebox a moanin' a honky-tonk sound
That's when I wanna 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
Callin' hey hey mama, can your daddy come home?
