Well, I stepped to a coast of Spain
A lady of dreams passed by
She was in her teens but oh what a queen
With a smile that could satisfy

She asked me if I had been there before
If not she should show me the sights
For three or four days we rocked it away
And she held me for three or four nights

Get out your big roll daddy
Now get it all undone
Depending on your spending
How far you want to go for fun

Get out your big roll daddy
Put it all on black
Well it's only money honey
But we can party up tonight

Well, I've been one day down in old Monterrey
I was looking for something free
Only thing on my mind was some good wine
And a woman for company

There were girls at the bar of the hotel
You know the score coming
I showered and I shaved and we misbehaved
I was drinking wine by the quart

Get out your big roll daddy
Now get it all undone
Depending on your spending
How far you want to go for fun

Get out your big roll daddy
Put it all on black
Well it's only money honey
But we can party up tonight

Hey hey, there's good looking chicks in Jamaica
And mademoiselles in France
I lay ya ten to one that I can get it done
And I will if I get that chance

Get out your big roll daddy
Now get it all undone
Depending on your spending
How far you want to go for fun

Get out your big roll daddy
Put it all on black
Well it's only money honey
But we can party up tonight

Get out your big roll daddy
Now get it all undone
Well it's only money honey
But we can party up tonight

Get out your big roll daddy
Put it all on black
Well it's only money honey
But we can party up tonight

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.
