Lick & A Promise Lyrics by Aerosmith

Lick & A Promise

Johnny come late 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
Ad 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, 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
And johnny looked and he smiled
He started thinking 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

[chorus]
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

[repeat chorus]
