Little QueenieJerry Lee Lewis

Songwriter: Chuck Berry

Producer: Shelby Singleton Jr.

Lord, I got lumps in my throat
When I saw her comin' down the aisle
I got the wiggles in my knees
When she looked at me and sweetly smiled

There she is again, she's standin' over by the record machine
My god she's lookin' like a model on the cover of a magazine
She's too cute to be a minute over seventeen
Meanwhile I was thinkin'

She's in the mood, no need to break it
I need a chance, I may go take it
Come on, Queenie, let's shake it
Give it to me honey, don't break it

Go, go, go, Little Queenie
Go, go, go, Little Queenie
Go, go, go, Little Queenie

There she is again, she's standin' over by the record machine
My god she's lookin' like a model on the cover of a magazine
She's too cute to be a minute over seventeen
Meanwhile I was still thinkin'

If this is a slow song, we'll omit it
If this is a rocker, that'll get it
If it's good, I'll admit it
Come here Queenie, let's get with it

Go, go, go, Little Queenie
Go, go, go, Little Queenie
Go, go, go, Little Queenie, hey

Go, go, go, Little Queenie, hey
Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go Little Queenie
Go, go, go, Little Queenie, yeah

Meanwhile I was still thinkin'
You got what I want, I'm gonna take it
C'mon baby, don't break it
Just shake it and we'll make it
Take me back Ferriday, Louisiana we'll break it

Go, Little Queenie
Go, go, Little Queenie
Go, go, go, Little Queenie

I said go, go, go, Little Queenie
Go, go, go, Little Queenie
Go, go, go, Little Queenie

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.
