Текст песни Honky Tonk World - Engelbert Humperdinck

There used to be a time when candlelight and wine was all that a woman would need
Man you'd 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, get outta 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 'n grind will do it everytime if you wanna kiss 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 ya' couch potatoes you're gonna be the lonely ones
If you want good loving then you gotta keep up, you better know your Brook's from your Dunn's
And don't even think that your Engelbert 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 outta 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 'n grind will do it everytime of you wanna kiss 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

(Instrumental break - Saxophone)

Now if you were cro-magnon, you'd be draggin' your woman 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 we were in the Fifties and you had a cool car to drive
But now we're past the the Nineties so you better shake your hiney or you're gonna get left behind

Get off the couch, get outta the house, long about a Friday night
Shine up your boots, polish of your moves if you wanna keep her satisfied
You know a little bump 'n grind will do it everytime if you wanna kiss 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...

(Instrumental break - Electric guitar)

(Instrumental break - Drums)

Get off the couch, get outta 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 'n grind will do it everytime of you wanna kiss 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...
