Hey Jerry Lee whistle honey, pull your chain
Go through the round house
And come on back again
Let me on, woo!
Honey, let me on, uh-huh-huh
You've got in my brains, you blew
Just lookin' at your caboo
Let me on

You're like a fast train leavin' town
I'm outta breath baby, tore the Killer down
Let me on, woo!
Sugar, let me on, uh-huh-huh
When I'm aboard this time
You're gonna feel so fine
Oh, let me on

Give it to me now

(Choo-choo) Umm, I love you, baby

(Choo-choo) A-don't leave me, baby

You name your place, honey you name the fare
I've got my ticket let the Killer in there
Come on, let-me-on, let-me-on, let-me-on, let-me-on
Let-me-on, let-me-on, let-me-on, let-me-on, let-me-on

(Chow-chow) Woo! (Choo-choo)

You've got my brains just-a liftin'
Lookin' at your caboo, let me on

Just like a fast train a-leavin' town (uh-uuh)
I'm outta breath baby, slow the Killer down
Let me on
Give it to me sugar, let the Killer on
Ah-uh-ahh
Comin' on board this time
You're going to feel so fine
Let me on

(Choo-choo) I just love ya, baby
(Choo-choo) I gotta have ya, baby
(Choo-choo) Don't leave me, baby
I'm screaming down the track
'Come back, come back'!

You name the place, honey you name the fare
I've got my ticket let the Killer in-a there
Let me on, come on baby
Let old Jerry Lee on
(Chow-chow) uh-huh (choo-choo)
You've got in my brains, you blew
Just lookin' at your caboo
Just let me on
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.
