Lick And A Promise Lyrics

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 

 

 [Chorus:]

 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
