Honky Tonk Hiccups

Neko Case


I got the honky tonk hiccups 
Ready steady go 
I got the honky tonk hiccups 
Ready steady go 
Honky tonk hiccups 
Ready steady go 
I found the cure on the hardwood floor 

When I got home from work 
I was feeling pretty fine 
'Til I started getting hiccups 'round suppertime 
Held my breath 'til I hit the floor 
But the hiccups kept coming 
Even more more more 

I asked my baby to stand up on a chair 
And when I wasn't looking 
She would give me a scare 
I drank a glass of water 
And I blew into a bag 
But the hiccups kept a-comin 
A nag nag nag 

I got the honky tonk hiccups 
Ready steady go 
I got the honky tonk hiccups 
Ready steady go 
Honky tonk hiccups 
Ready steady go 
I found the cure on the hardwood floor 

Well I was feeling low 
But my baby made me go 
Down to the honky tonk and hillbilly show 
An hour in the line-up 
And I finally made the door 
But the hiccups kept a-coming 
Even more more more 

First I heard the music 
And then I felt a beat 
And that's when I knew 
That the hiccups would retreat 
I headed for the dance floor 
I really did my best 
I did The Rump Jump 
I guess the whiskey did the rest 

I got the honky tonk hiccups 
Ready steady go 
I got the honky tonk hiccups 
Ready steady go 
Honky tonk hiccups 
Ready steady go 
I found the cure on the hardwood floor 

Honky tonk hiccups 
Ready steady go 
I got the honky tonk hiccups 
Ready steady go 
Honky tonk hiccups 
Ready steady go 
I found the cure on the hardwood floor 
I found the cure on the hardwood floor 
The only cure is the hardwood floor 
(Hic!)
