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
