I said jukebox junky
Play me something funky that really rocks
Well, she's anybody's a-honey
That spends a little money on the old jukebox
She plays country, rock n' roll
Depending on the mood she's in
Jukebox junky play me something funky, again

She's a little waitress up at Paradise Cafe
She sings a long with any song that she plays
She'll play old rebel the louder the better
Giving Jerry Lee a spin, woo!
Jukebox junky, play me something funky, again
Yeah!

She'll do a little dance every time the jukebox plays
She'll glance a smile at anyone that'll look her way
She makes a scene with the record machine
Gettin' high but what a scene, woo!
Jukebox junky, won't ya play me something funky, again?

I said a-jukebox junky
Won't you play me something funky
That really rocks?
She's a-anybody's honey that'll spend any money
On the old jukebox
She'll play country, rock'n roll (rock)
Depending on the mood she's in, woo!
Jukebox junky play me something funky, again
Woo!

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.
