Pumpin’ Piano RockJerry Lee Lewis

Songwriter: Jerry Lee Lewis

Producer: Sam Phillips (Producer)

Well, I've heard of the mambo and the boogie too
Round ain't square and a low down blue
All you kids listen to me if you really wanna rock 'n' roll
Let's all daze away to the old banger board

Gets a little jig that you really can afford
Let's all get with it, the pumpin' piano rock
Well, rock-rock-rock, rock-piano-rock
Rock-rock-rock, rock-piano-rock

And live up everybody, get that feelin'
You ne-never want to stop
Let's all get with it, to the pumpin' piano rock
Well, I've heard of the slow walk and the hula too

Here's a little beat that keeps you in the groove
Let me tell you right now, it really knocks me out
You get a feelin' that makes you wanna jump and shout
I tell you it's cool, it really knocks me out

So let's all keep jumpin' to the pumpin' piano rock
Well, rock-rock-rock, rock-piano-rock
Rock-rock-rock, rock-piano-rock
And everybody gets that feelin'
Makes you wanna stop
Let's all get with it, to the pumpin' piano rock

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.
