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 seeBut 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 scoreYou'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 satisfiedOh 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 worldWell 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'sDon'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
Then you're gonna get left at homeYou'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 satisfiedYou 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 worldNow 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 dayYeah 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 behindYou'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 satisfiedYou 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 worldNo you don't stand a chance
'Less you take her out and dance
'Cause we're living in a honky tonk world
