Lick And A Promise

Johnny come late on a saturday night

Singin' how de do

Backstreet boogie in the house of delight

Where they steal the show

The money come sour but the ladies are sweet

Ad it's a love affair

Whole place rockin', people stompin' their feet

When the gang's all there



He gets his lovin' every night for free

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

Singin' 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

And johnny looked and he smiled

He started thinking 'bout the fortune and fame

And the young girls down at his knees

He dug the money but forgot all the names

So he knew just how to appease



(chorus)

Lick and a promise

Lick and a promise

Lick and a promise

(he gave the ladies a) lick and a promise



Loose change clover 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



(repeat chorus)
