Jerry Lee Lewis

Songwriter: Jack Hammer

Down to the drugstore, to be with the crowd
A candy sodapop for cryin' out loud
All day long, sittin' on a stool
Drinking milkshakes again, she giggles like a fool

[Chorus]
She's a milkshake mademoiselle
Cool as she can be
She's a milkshake mademoiselle
Whooooo, what she do to me

Oh well, she's gonna go steady, just to having ball
Same old line for Peter and Paul
Come on baby, gimme a date
You can't get your kicks from an ole a-milkshake

[Chorus]
Well, gonna jump on the telephone, call up a friend
Don't stop talking till a half past ten
Back to the kitchen to the ole light box
Cool lemonade and a-warm ham hocks

[Chorus]
Well, she turned on the TV, go girl go
Had a love scene on a late late show
Dream of tomorrow at recess time
She'll brake another heart with the same old line

[Chorus]
Look a-here what se do to me
Honey baby, what ya doin' to me
Won't you stop what ya doin' to me
Huh-uh

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.
