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
