Neko Case - Honky Tonk Hiccups Lyrics

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 supper time
Held my breath 'til I hit the floor
But the hiccups kept coming
Even more, more, more

I asked my baby to dive behind 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
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
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
