Life in the honky-tonks as seen by the fiddler

"Hey, Diddle-Diddle"
By Dave McIsaac ©2007

(Chorus)
Hey, Diddle-Diddle, the cat plays the fiddle
While the cowboy ropes the moon
For the barroom queen in the tight fittin' jeans
At the "Y'all Come Back" saloon

Now, the girls are all hopin' to do a little ropin'
Themselves to catch Mr. Right
But it's late-night action for his own satisfaction
That's all they're gonna get tonight
So they'll do a little drinkin', let the booze do the thinkin'
And settle for Mr. Wrong
And it's Hey, Diddle-Diddle, the cat plays the fiddle
On another heartbreakin' song

(Chorus)

The guys are all thinkin' they'll do a little drinkin'
Let the booze do the talkin' tonight
And the more they consume, the more they assume
They're lookin' like Mr. Right
They'll do a little dance - Pretend it's romance
Next thing you know the night is through
And it's Hey, Diddle-Diddle, the cat plays the fiddle
On another heartbreakin' tune

(Chorus)

"Last chance for the last dance - Time for one more song
Last call for alcohol - Just one more, right or wrong"
The booze has done the talkin', the booze has done the thinkin'
Now the booze is gonna drive 'em home
And it's Hey, Diddle-Diddle, the cat plays the fiddle
God bless us each, one and all

(Chorus) / (Chorus) / (Tag)
Now, you all come back real soon, to the "Y'all Come Back" saloon
