Hound DogJerry Lee Lewis

Songwriter: Jerry Leiber Mike Stoller

Producer: Siegfried E. Loch

You ain't nothin' but a hound dog
Cryin' all the time
You ain't nothin' but a hou-ound dog-ah
Whinin' all the ti-ime
You ain't never caught a rabbit
You ain't no friend of mine

Woh, now they told me you was high class
Well that was just a lie
You know they told me you was high class
Well that was just a lie
You ain't never ever never caught a rabbit
You ain't no friend of mine

Well you ain't nothin' but a hou-ound dog
Stoopin' 'round my door
You ain't nothin' but a hou-ound dog
Stoopin' 'round my door
Well, you can wag your tail
But I ain't gon' feed you no more

Well you told me you was high cla-ass
They told me you was high class
They told me you was high class
They told me you was high class
You ain't never been high class, No!

Yeah, you ain't nothin' but a hou-ound dog
Your just an old hound do-og
Your nothin' but a hound do-og
You're just an' old hou-ound dog
Your nothin' but a hound do-og
Yeah you didn't tell the truth
Your nothin' but a hound dog
One more time
Play it man

Jerry Lee Lewis

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.
