Jerry Lee Lewis

Songwriter: Carl Perkins

Well, she goes struttin' down the street in her sophisticated style
The way she's dressed was a knocking 'em wild
The cats started gazing till they called her out
Her pink pedal pushers was a-knocking 'em out

She wears a-pink pedal pushers, pink pedal pushers
Her pink pedal pushers has made her the queen of them all
She goes drivin' down the street in her brand new car
The cats started gazin' from near and far

She don't cause commotion till she steps outside
The cats get hep and holler, ooh-ooh man alive!
She's wearin' pink pedal pushers, pink pedal pushers
Pink pedal pushers has made her the queen of them all
(Ooh wop a do)

Pink pedal pushers has made her the queen of the mall
She got the number one phones to high school hop
The older folks said she got to favor the mob
She's got more than I've ever had
She's a rock 'n' roll ditty with a brand new fad

She wears a-pink pedal pushers, pink pedal pushers
Pink pedal pushers has made her the queen of them all
Well, they gave her a part in a high school play
They all chose her to play the old may

Curtain call had the crowd off the floor
Her pink pedal pushers, they stole the show
She wears a-pink pedal pushers, pink pedal pushers
Pink pedal pushers has made her the queen of them all
(How does she go, pop)

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.
