You know baby wanted to run right out
I bet not, yes she did
I disagreed and said I thought
We ought to put it off
Um-hm

Listed some of the reasons
I did it, with regret
I told her what we needed most
Before we took that step

And it was, harmony
A little peace and harmony
It's a whole new world, livin' together
Long, long time, it's forever
How 'bout a little peace and harmony
Yeah

Baby gave me a talkin'
She laid her feelin's down
She said, 'Jerry Lee, you better hurry, boy
'Cause I ain't gonna wait around'

I said 'Honey, take this love
Don't be pushin' Killer, around
The only way we're gonna make it, darlin'
Lay that love right down

Just a little, harmony
A little peace and-a harmony
Well, it's a whole new world, livin' together
A long, long time is forever
About, about a little peace and harmony

Give it to me

About a little peace and harmony

Jerry Lee Lewis was a leading figure in the popularization of rock & roll during the 1950s. He was first signed to Sun Records in 1956 where he was labelmates with Johnny Cash, Elvis Presley, Roy Orbison, and other early rock artists. Of those musicians, however, he was the only piano player and combined with his heavy-handed playing style, sexually suggestive lyrics, and provocative stage antics he came to epitomize the rebelliousness of the genre.

He rose to international fame for his 1957 versions of the songs “Great Balls of Fire” and “Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On.”

Lewis' popularity rapidly tumbled, however, when in 1958, when at the age of 22, he married his 13-year-old cousin. Though this scandal continued to tarnish his image, Lewis never retired from music. As of October 2015, he continues to perform live.
