Long Tall SallyJerry Lee Lewis

Songwriter: Enotris Johnson Little Richard Robert Blackwell

Producer: Siegfried E. Loch

Gonna tell aunt Mary, 'bout uncle John
He claim he has the misery but he's havin' a lot of fun
Oh baby, yes baby, woo baby, havin' me some fun tonight

Well, long tall Sally, she's built for speed
She's got everything that uncle John need
Oh baby, yes baby, woo baby, havin' me some fun tonight

Well, I saw uncle John with bald headed Sally

He saw aunt Mary coming and he ducked back in the alley
Oh baby, yes baby, woo baby, havin' me some fun tonight

We're gonna have some fun tonight
We're gonna have some fun tonight
Woo, have some fun tonight
Everything's all right
Have some fun, have me some fun tonight!

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.
