Sorry - I don't know what it means. Maybe it's a reference to a spy on an old TV show named "99", but that's just a wild guess. Or it could mean 99%, i.e. high quality?

sorry, im still learning to deal with this forum, I've just saw this mesage on my mailbox.
rocka rolla is a song about a woman that goes around barrooms, she's a man eatin' momma, shes a god time lady.
The sentence "ten pint a nighter" is now clear for me",
however the last sentence is still a mistery for me...the link of the lyrics is here in case you need...THANKS!

As I meant to imply above, I already tried looking at the entire lyrics of the song, but I still can only guess (wildly) at the meaning of "ninety nine".

ok thanks you all!

I've also been thinking if the last sentence has something to do with the previous sentence: "ten pint a nighter"?

Could you please stop marking this "administrator check" - we don't know what the singer meant, but that's not because we don't know English!
