Misty was an exotic dancer
She had rockets on the soles of her shoes
That's the only thing she was wearin'
When the bouncer came to give her the news
He said, "There was a man from the city"
With a smile and a boatload of cash
Said, "He was lookin' for a good time"
So she just sprayed on some perfume and laughed
Oh, 'cause it's one for the money
Sometimes two or three for the show
All for a taste of the honey, I'm startin' to break
Had about all I can take

Jimmy was an insurance salesman
Thought maybe it was all a mistake
Landed in Toledo, Ohio
'Cause he knew he'd never make it to Spain
Stayed up all night reading Hemming way
With cheap dreams and expensive gin
And the sun would come up, and he'd fill up his cup
And get ready just to do it again
Oh, 'cause it's one for the money
Sometimes two or three for the show
All for a taste of the honey, I'm startin' to break
Had about all I can take
ย
And there's a baby who cries in the kitchen
While the mama's out, missin' her youth
There's a man drinkin' cheap gin in his bedroom
And they just try to hustle the truth
Oh, 'cause it's one for the money
Sometimes two or three for the show
All for a taste of the honey, I'm startin' to break
Oh, had about all I can take
Had about all I can take
