Standard (EADGBE)

Johnny come late on a saturday night

 Singin' how to go

Backstreet boogie in the house of delight

 Where they steal the show

Money come sour but the ladies are sweet

 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, la, la, la

Johnny like to gamble with his lady louise

 She was a black jack en dances are wild

He got to thinking 'bout his nose and a freeze

And johnny looked and he smiled

He started thinking 'bout a fortune and fame

 And the young girls down at his knees

He dug the money but forgot all their names

 So he knew just how to appease

 (Got ) Lick and 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

 Had his poor mama pacin' the floors

He grabbed a guitar and a couple of beers

 Now the crowd keeps screamin' for more

 (Got ) Lick and promise

Lick and a promise

Lick and a promise

(he gave the ladies a) lick and a promise
