Walk right in sit right down daddy let your mind roll on
Walk right in sit right down daddy let your mind roll on
Everybody's talking bout a new way of walking do you wanna lose your mind

Walk right in sit right down daddy let your mind roll on
Walk right in sit right down baby let your hair hang down
Walk right in sit right down baby let your hair hang down

Everybody's talking bout a new way of walking do you wanna lose your mind
Walk right in and sit right down baby let your hair hang down

Well walk right in sit right down...

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.
