Hear that whistle it's ten o'clock come on baby it's time to rock
I'm so happy I got you here keeps me grinnin' for ear to ear
Oowee this feelin's killin' me
Ah shucks I wouldn't stop for a million bucks
I love you so just hold me tight and don't let go

Thunder lightning wind and rain love is stormin' inside my brain
I'm so eager I'm nearly dyin' you've been keeping your lips from mine
Oowee this feelin's killin' me...

Hound dog barkin' up side the hill love is draggin' him through the mill
If it wasn't for havin' you I'd be walkin' and a howlin' too
Oowee this feelin's killin' me...

One day baby you'll get me yet I'll be cryin' and soakin' wet
One thing baby I'll never stand your lips kissin' some other man
Oowee this feelin's killin' me...
Hold me tight and don't let go hold me baby and don't let go
Hold me tight and don't let go

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.
