Aerosmith - Lick And A Promise

LICK AND A PROMISE
Perry / Tyler

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
