The best things in life are free
But you can give them to the birds and bees
I need money
That's what I want
(That's what I want, that's what I want)
That's what I want, that 's what I want
(That's what I want, that's what I want)

Your love gives me such a thrill
But your love don't pay my bills
I need money
That's what I want
(That's what I want, that's what I want)
That's what I want, that 's what I want
(That's what I want, that's what I want)

Money don't get everything, it's true
But what it don't get I can't use
I need money
That's what I want
(That's what I want, that's what I want)
That's what I want, that 's what I want
(That's what I want, that's what I want)

Money, lots of money
(That's what I want, uh huh)
Whole lot of money
(That's what I want, uh huh)
Uh huh, ah, ah, oh, yeah
(That's what I want, uh huh, that's what I want)
(That's what I want, uh huh, that's what I want)

Money, lots of money
(That's what I want, uh huh)
Whole lot of money
(That's what I want, uh huh)
Uh huh, ah, ah, oh, yeah
(That's what I want, uh huh, that's what I want)

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.
