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?
I`m  living 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.
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?
 (INTERLUDE:)
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 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.
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?
 A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
