Well, I said a-shake, baby shake, baby shake
Till the meat rolls off your bones
Shake baby, shake, baby shake
Till your mammy and your papa get home
Shake baby shake, I just love your cool-cool ways

Well, upside down and all around
Baby don't be late, let's bop a-the town
Come on baby, shake baby, come 'ere baby, come on baby
Come on baby, I love your cool-cool ways
(Look a-here!)

Well, wiggle, wiggle, wiggle, wiggle, wiggle, wiggle
Till the meat comes off your bones
Wigglе, wiggle, wiggle, honey
Till your mammy and your papa gеt home
Shake baby shake, I love your cool-cool ways
(Ooooh, honey I can't stand much of this!)

Well, grandpa he's too old to go
He got a shake it just a little to the rock 'n' roll
So, shake, baby shake, shake, baby shake
Shake baby shake, I love your cool-cool ways
(Look here now!)

Well let's go, upside down and all around
Baby don't be late, let's bop a-the town
Look a-here, come on baby, look a-here, come on baby
Whoooooo! I love your cool-cool ways
I love your cool-cool ways
Honey I'm diggin' your cool-cool ways, grrrrr!
Look a-here!

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.
