Good Golly, Miss MollyJerry Lee Lewis

Songwriter: John Marascalco Otis Blackwell

Good Golly Miss Molly, sure like a ball
Good Golly Miss Molly, sure like a ball
When you're rocking and a rolling can't hear your momma call
From the early, early morning till the early, early night
You can see Miss Molly rocking at the house of blue lights
Good golly, Miss Molly, sure like a ball
When you're rocking and a rolling can't hear your momma call
Well, now momma, poppa told me: "Son, you better watch your step
"If I knew my momma, poppa, have to watch my dad myself
Good golly, Miss Molly, sure like a ball
When you're rocking and a rolling can't hear your momma call
I am going to the corner, gonna buy a diamond ring
Would you pardon me if it's a nineteen carat golden thing
Good golly, Miss Molly, sure like a ball
When you're rocking and a rolling can't hear your momma call
Good golly, Miss Molly, sure like a ball
Good golly, Miss Molly, sure like a ball
When you're rocking and a rolling can't hear your momma call

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.
