Well, there used to be a time
A candlelight and wine was all that a woman would need
And man, you'll be a winner if you took her out to dinner
Or a movie she been want 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 and 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

You do 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, unless you take her out and dance
'Cause we're living in a honky tonk world

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

And yeah, don't even think that your Engelbert Humperdink
Record's gonna turn her on
'Cause mister, you can bet if you don't know the steps
Where 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 do 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, unless 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 and 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 do 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, unless you take her out and dance
'Cause we're living in a honky tonk world

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