Lick and a Promise

[Verse 1]

Johnny come lately on a Saturday night

Singing how to go

Backstreet 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 rocking, people stomping their feet

A when the gang's all there

[Chorus 1]

He gets his woman every night for free

He's out there rocking like you wouldn't believe

I sing na, na, na, na, na

Na, na, na, na, na

[Verse 2]

Johnny like to gamble with his lady Louise

She was a blackjack deuces are wild

He got to thinking 'bout his nose in the breeze

Put it there, Johnny looked and he smiled

He started thinking about 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

[Chorus 2]

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

Lick and a promise

He gave the ladies a

Lick and a promise

[Verse 3]

Loose change grubber in his early, early years

Had his poor mama pacing the floors

He grabbed a guitar and a couple of beers

Now the crowd keeps screaming for more

[Chorus 1]

He gets his woman every night for free

He's out there rocking like you wouldn't believe

I sing na, na, na, na, na

Na, na, na, na, na
