Rocking little angel come down from the sky
Down from the sky come on down from the sky
Rocking little angel come down from the sky
Come on down and stop teasing me
Come on down stop teasing me

Rocking little angel with your honey dribble lips
Your honey dribble lips
Your honey dribble lips
I want the whole wide world to know
I want the whole wide world to know

Rock (rock) rock (rock) rock a little angel
Rock (rock) rock (rock) rock a little angel
Rock (rock) rock (rock) rock a little angel
Come on down and stop a-teasing me
Come on down and stop teasing me

Rocking little angel you're oh so sweet
You're oh so sweet you're oh so sweet
Rocking little angel you're oh so sweet
Why don't you make my life complete
Come on and make my life complete

Stop teasing little angel
Stop teasing little angel

Rocking little angel with your honey-dripping lips
Your honey-dripping lips with your honey-dripping lips
Rocking little angel with your honey-dripping lips
Let me kiss away my blues
Let me kiss away my blues

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.
