Well it's Friday evenin' six o'clock
And all my friends are twistin' off
I'm at the house just turnin' on TV
And they all wonder why I've changed
How many times must I explain
It's basic honky tonk anatomy

The drinkin' bone is connected to the party bone
The party bone's connected to the stayin' out all night long
And she won't think it's funny
And I'll wind up all alone
And the lonely bone's connected to the drinkin' bone

Hey two plus two is always four
And down is south and up is north
Thirty-two degrees is freezing cold
You play with fire you end up burned
The early-bird gets the worm
But the only thing you really need to know
Is

The drinkin' bone is connected to the party bone
The party bone's connected to the stayin' out all night long
And she won't think it's funny
And I'll wind up all alone
And the lonely bone's connected to the drinkin' bone

Hey sing it with me
Let's make sure you know

The drinkin' bone is connected to the party bone
The party bone's connected tot he stayin' out all night long
And she won't think it's funny
And I'll wind up all alone
And the lonely bone's connected the the

The drinkin' bone is connected to the party bone
The party bone's connected to the stayin' out all night long
And she won't think it's funny
And I'll wind up all alone
And the lonely bone's connected to the drinkin' bone
