Lady in red what’cha doin’?
Who the hell do you think you’re foolin’?
Why you actin’ so cold?
You’re the angel of town you keep sayin’
“Got to work, no time for playin’.”
But what the others don’t know

When the clock strikes five you really come alive
Forget about who you are
Forget about the week and all the business heat
Tonight you become a star
That’s what you are

You’re a honky tonk night time dancer
You’re a queenie when you take the floor
You’re a honky tonk night time dancer
Star attraction that’s for sure
That’s what you are

Listen here, now
Monday mornin’ comin’
Routine you’re out there runnin’
Boss man likes his coffee sweet
Ain’t no life for you, baby
Soon or later gonna drive you crazy
Moon lightin’ every week

When the sun goes down you really come around
Forget about who you are
You’re a night time girl
When you’re showin’ all the world
Tonight you’re gonna be a star (gonna be a star)
That’s what you are

You’re a honky tonk night time dancer (ooh, ooh, ooh)
You’re a queenie when you take the floor
You’re a honky tonk night time dancer
Star attraction that’s for sure

Monday mornin’ comin’
Routine you’re out there runnin’
Boss man likes his coffee sweet (sweet, sweet, sweet)
Ain’t no good for you, baby
Tell the man he must be crazy
You gotta moonlight every week

When the clock strikes five you really come alive
Forget about who you are
Forget about the week and all the business heat
Tonight you become a star (gonna be a star)
That’s what you are

You’re a honky tonk night time dancer (ooh, ooh, ooh)
You’re a queenie when you take the floor
You’re a honky tonk night time dancer
Star attraction that’s for sure

You’re a honky tonk night time dancer (you’re a dancer)
You’re a queenie when you take the floor (ooh, ooh, ooh)
You’re a honky tonk night time dancer
Star attraction that’s for sure

Honkey tonk dancer, that’s what you are
Honkey tonk dancer,
Honkey tonk dancer,
Honkey tonk dancer, honky tonk ain’t free
