B Johnny come late on a saturday night A Singinʼ how to go B Backstreet boogie in the house of delight A Where they steal the show B Money come sour but the ladies are sweet A Itʼs a love affair B Whole place rockinʼ, people stompinʼ their feet A When the gangʼs all there Ab Eb He gets his lovinʼ every night for free Ab Eb Heʼs out there rockinʼ like you wouldnʼt believe Db Eb Ab Singinʼ na, na, la, la, la Johnny like to gamble with his lady louise A She was a black jack en dances are wild B He got to thinking ʼbout his nose and a freeze A And johnny looked and he smiled B He started thinking ʼbout a fortune and fame A And the young girls down at his knees B He dug the money but forgot all their names A So he knew just how to appease Eb (Got a) Lick and a promise 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 A Had his poor mama pacinʼ the floors B He grabbed a guitar and a couple of beers A Now the crowd keeps screaminʼ for more Eb (Got a) Lick and a promise Lick and a promise Lick and a promise (he gave the ladies a) lick and a promise
