Song Lyrics

There used to be a time candlelight and wine
Was all that a woman would need
Man you were a winner if you took her out to dinner
Or a movie she wanted to see

But the world has turned and it's time you learned
That the old ain't working no more
Yeah the rules have changed it's brand new game
And buddy if you want to score

You've got to get off the couch get out of the house
Long about Friday night
Shine up your boots polish up your moves
If you want to keep her satisfied

Oh a little bump and grind will do it every time
If you want to keep your little girl
But you don't stand a chance
'Less you take her out and dance
'Cause we're living in a honky tonk world

Well sooner or later all you couch potatoes
Where you're gonna be the lonely one
And if you want good lovin' then you gotta keep up
And you better know your Brook's from your Dunn's

Don't even think that your Engelbert Humperdinck
Record's gonna turn her on
'Cause Mister you can bet if you don't know the steps
Then you're gonna get left at home

You've got to get off the couch get out of the house
Long about Friday night
Shine up your boots polish up your moves
If you want to keep her satisfied

You know a little bump and grind will do it every time
If you want to keep your little girl
But you don't stand a chance
'Less you take her out and dance
'Cause we're living in a honky tonk world

Now if you were cro-magnon you'd be draggin'
Them woman by the hair to your cave
You'd be down on your knees citing them soliloquies
Back in Romeo's day

Yeah you'd be kind of nifty if we were in the Fifties
And you had a cool car to drive
But we're living in the Nineties so you better shake your hiney
Or you're gonna get left behind

You've got to get off the couch get out of the house
Long about Friday night
Shine up your boots polish up your moves
If you want to keep her satisfied

You know a little bump and grind will do it every time
If you want to keep your little girl
But you don't stand a chance
'Less you take her out and dance
'Cause we're living in a honky tonk world

No you don't stand a chance
'Less you take her out and dance
'Cause we're living in a honky tonk world
