Lick And A Promise
Johnny come lately on a Saturday night
Singin' how de-do
The backstreet boogie in a house of delight
The way 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
And when the gang's all there
He gets his woman every night for free, yeah
He's out there rockin' like you wouldn't believe
I sing it, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na
Johnny likes to gamble with the lady Louise
She was a black jack deuces are wild
She gotta 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 of beers
Now the crowd keeps screamin' for more
He gets his woman every night for free, yea
He's out there rockin' like you wouldn't believe
I sing it, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na
Na-na-na
Lick and a promise
Singin' how de-do
The backstreet boogie in a house of delight
The way 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
And when the gang's all there
He gets his woman every night for free, yeah
He's out there rockin' like you wouldn't believe
I sing it, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na
