Honaloochie Boogie Lyrics

My cardboard face looks out of place
Among all those plastic plates
My brillianteen sure adds that sheen
But I can’t believe my fate

I mean all this dressing up is a travesty
It’s costing all my bread and I ain’t no red indian chief
It’s getting somehow (? ) and really embarrassingly

I wanna dance to honaloochie boogie yeah
Get in time, don’t worry ’bout the shirt shine
Honaloochie boogie, you sure started something

And the kings are dying
The queens are crying
And the princes now stake their claim
Then you became the rebels reign
And the wise men slag in vain

Now I feel like I’m in a reock ’n roll war
Some kind of mathematical jive competition
The trouble is allk I can think about is getting a gig somewhere

I wanna dance to honaloochie boogie yeah
Get in time, don’t worry ’bout the shirt shine
Honaloochie boogie, you sure started something

I wanna dance to honaloochie boogie yeah
Get in time, don’t worry ’bout the shirt shine
Honaloochie boogie, you sure started something

I wanna dance to honaloochie boogie yeah
Get in time, don’t worry ’bout the shirt shine
Honaloochie boogie, you sure started something

My cardboard face looks out of place
Among all those plastic plates
My brillianteen sure adds that sheen
But I can’t believe my fate

Honaloochie boogie, you sure started something

Honaloochie boogie, you sure started something

I wanna dance to honaloochie boogie yeah
Get in time, don’t worry ’bout the shirt shine
Honaloochie boogie, you sure started something

I wanna dance to honaloochie boogie yeah
Get in time, don’t worry ’bout the shirt shine
Honaloochie boogie, you sure started something

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
