Open up, a-honey, it's your lover boy me that's a-knockin'
Why don't you listen to me, sugar? All the cats are at the high school rockin'
Honey, get your boppin' shoes
'Fore the jukebox blow the fuse
Everybody hoppin'
Everybody's boppin'
Boppin' at the high school hop

They're boppin' at the high school hop
Shakin' at the high school hop
Hoppin' at the high school rock
Rockin' at the high school hop
Well, everybody hoppin'
Everybody's boppin'
Boppin' at the high school hop

Come on, little baby, let's rock a little bit tonight
Woo, let's get with it sugar, let's shake it up tonight
Well, my heart's a-beatin' rhythm and my feet are movin' smooth and light

Well, boppin' at the high school hop
Boppin' at the high school hop
Shakin' at the high school hop
Movin' at the high school hop
Everybody boppin'
Everybody rockin'
Boppin' at the high school hop
Now let's go!

Well, now let me tell you something, baby, I'ma gonna give you some good news
Look a-here, sweet mama, let's burn off both our shoes
Well, my heart's a-beatin' rhythm and my soul is singin' the blues

Well, boppin' at the high school hop
Hoppin' at the high school hop
We're just a-jumpin' at the high school hop
We're rollin' at the high school hop
Well, everybody hoppin'
Everybody's boppin'
Boppin' at the high school hop
Now let's go!
Woo!

Well, boppin' at the high school hop
Hoppin' at the high school hop
Shakin' at the high school hop
We're just a-movin' and a-groovin' at the high school hop
Well, everybody boppin'
Everybody's hoppin'
Boppin' at the high school hop

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.
