Honky Tonk World |
| There used to be a time when candlelight and wine |
| Was all that a woman would need |
| Man, you’ll be a winner if you took her out to dinner |
| Or a movie that she wanted to see |
| Now the world has turned and it’s time you learned |
| The old ain’t working no more |
| The rules have changed and it’s a brand new game |
| Buddy, if you wanna score |
| Get off the couch and get out of the house |
| Long about a Friday night |
| Shine up your boots, polish up your moves |
| If you wanna keep her satisfied |
| You know, a little bump and grind would do it every time |
| If you want to keep your little girl |
| Well, you don’t stand a chance 'less you take her out to dance |
| You’re living in a honky tonk world |
| Sooner or later, all you couch potatoes |
| You’re gonna be the lonely ones |
| If you want good lovin' then you gotta keep up |
| You better know your Brook’s from your Dunn’s |
| And don’t even think that your Englebert Humperdinck’s |
| Record’s gonna turn her on |
| Mister, you can bet if you don’t know the steps |
| You’re gonna get left at home |
| Get off the couch, get out of the house |
| Long about a Friday night |
| Shine up your boots, polish up your moves |
| If you wanna keep her satisfied |
| You know, a little bump and grind would do it every time |
| If you want to keep your little girl |
| Well, you don’t stand a chance 'less you take her out to dance |
| 'Cause you’re living in a honky tonk world |
| You were cro-magnon, you’d be draggin' your women |
| By a hair to your cave |
| You’d be down on one knee reciting them soliloquies |
| Back in Romeo’s day |
| You’d be kind of nifty if you were in the Fifties |
| And you had a cool car to drive |
| But now you past the Nineties so you better shake your hiney |
| Or you’re gonna get left behind |
| Get off the couch and get out of the house |
| Long about a Friday night |
| Shine up your boots, polish up your moves |
| If you wanna keep her satisfied |
| You know, a little bump and grind would do it every time |
| If you want to keep your little girl |
| Well, you don’t stand a chance 'less you take her out to dance |
| You’re living in a honky tonk world |
| You don’t stand a chance 'less you take her out to dance |
| 'Cause we’re living in a honky tonk world |
| Get off the couch and get out of the house |
| Long about a Friday night |
| Shine up your boots, polish up your moves |
| If you wanna keep her satisfied |
| You know, a little bump and grind would do it every time |
| If you want to keep your little girl |
| Well, you don’t stand a chance 'less you take her out to dance |
| You’re living in a honky tonk world |
| You don’t stand a chance 'less you take her out to dance |
| 'Cause you’re living in a honky tonk world |
