Lick And A Promise



 

(Tyler/Perry)



Johnny come lately 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

and 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

I sing na na na na na

na na na na na

Johnny liked to gamble with his lady Louise

she was a blackjack deuces are wild

he got to thinkin' 'bout his nose in the breeze

But then Johnny looked and he smiled

he started thinkin' 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

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
