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
 and 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
 I sing na na na na na
 na na na na na
 Johnny liked to gamble with his lady Louise
 she was a blackjack deuces are wild
 he got to thinkin' 'bout his nose in the breeze
 *** Johnny looked and he smiled
 he started thinkin' 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
 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
