Lick and a Promise

Tom: B

B
Johnny come late on a saturday night
         A
Singin' 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
It's a love affair
  B
Whole place rockin', people stompin' their feet
           A
When the gang's all there
Ab                                         Eb
   He gets his lovin' every night for free
Ab                                                  Eb
   He's out there rockin' like you wouldn't believe
        Db      Eb      Ab
Singin' 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 'bout his nose and a freeze
A
 And johnny looked and he smiled
B
 He started thinking 'bout 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

(he gave the ladies a) lick and a promise

Loose change grubber in his early, early years
         A
Had his poor mama pacin' the floors
B
 He grabbed a guitar and a couple of beers
          A
Now the crowd keeps screamin' for more
         Eb
