Lick And A Promise

Johnny come lately on a Saturday night Singin' how de do Backstreet a boogie in the house of delight Where they steal the show The money come sour but the ladies are sweet It's a love affair Whole place rockin', people stompin' their feet A when the gang's all there He gets his woman every night for free He's out there rockin' like you wouldn't believe I sing na, na, na, na, na Na, na, na, na, na Johnny like to gamble with his lady Louise She was a black jack deuces are wild He got to thinking 'bout his nose in the breeze Put it there, Johnny looked and he smiled He started thinking 'bout the fortune and fame With the young girls down at his knees He dug the money but forgot all the names So he knew just how to appease Lick and a promise Lick and a promise Lick and a promise He gave the ladies a Lick and a promise Lick and a promise He gave the ladies a Lick and a promise Loose change grubber in his early, early years Had his poor mama pacin' the floors He grabbed a guitar and a couple a beers Now the crowd keeps screamin' for more He gets his woman every night for free He's out there rockin' like you wouldn't believe I sing na, na, na, na, na Sing na, na, na, na, na Na, na, na, na
