Intro:
E E E E

Verse:
E
Well there used to be a time
E
When candlelight and wine
               D           A
Was all that a woman would need
B7
Man you were a winner
B7
If you took her out to dinner
                         E
Or a movie she wanted to see
E

But the world has turned
E
And it's time you learned
                              A
That the old ain't working no more
B7
Yeah the rules have changed
B7
And it's a brand new game
                         E E E E
And buddy if you want to score

Chorus:
A
You gotta get off the couch
A
Get out of the house
E
Long about Friday night
A
Shine up your boots
F#
Polish up your moves
       B7                        G
If you want to keep her satisfied
E
You know a little bump and grind'll
E
Do it every time
                                A
If you want to keep your little girl
        E
But you don't stand a chance
          A
'Less you take her out and dance
            B                      E
Cause we're living in a honky tonk world

Verse:
E
Well sooner or later
E
All you couch potatoes
                 D      A
Are gonna be the lonely ones
A
If you want good lovin' then you gotta keep up
A                                         E
And you better know your Brooks from your Dunn
E
Don't even think that your Englebert Humperdink
E              D        A
Record's gonna turn her on
      B7
Cause Mister you can bet
B7
If you don't know the steps
                              E E E E
Then you're gonna get left at home

You gotta get off the couch

E
Now if your were Cro-Magnon
E
You'd would be a-draggin'
E                                  G A
Them women by the hair to your cave
E
You'd be down on your knees
E                                            G A
Recitin' those soliloquis back in Romeo's day
E
Yeah and you'd be kinda nifty
E
If we were in the fifties
E                              G A
And you had a cool car to drive
E
Well we're living in the nineties
       A
So you better shake your hiney
          B7
Or you're gonna get left behind
