Hey hey-ey, Baby
I wanna know-o-o
If you'll be my girl

Hey hey-ey, Baby
I wanna know-o-o
If you'll be my girl

When I saw you walking down the street
I said that's the kind of gal I'd like to meet
She's so pretty. Lord, she's fine
I'm gonna make her mine all mine

Hey hey-ey, Baby
I wanna know-o-o
If you'll be my girl

When you turned and walked away
That's when I wanna say
Come on, Baby, give me a whirl
I wanna know if you'll be my girl

Hey hey-ey, Baby
I wanna know-o-o
If you'll be my girl

When you turned and walked away
That's when I wanna say
Come on, Baby, give me a whirl
I wanna know if you'll be my girl

Hey hey-ey, Baby
I wanna know-o-o
If you'll be my girl

Hey hey hey-ey, Baby
Come on, Baby, now, yeah

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.
