Put on you're high-heel sneakers, on that wig down on you're head
Put on you're high-heel sneakers, on that wig down on you're head
'Cause we're goin' out tonight baby, ooo-ooo, I'm pretty sure you're gonna knock 'em dead

Put on you're red dress baby, 'cause we're goin' out tonight, come on now!
Put on you're red dress baby, we gonna go out tonight
And I'm gonna sharpen up my razor
'Cause some cats might wanna fight

Put on you're high-heel sneakers, on that wig down on you're head, come on now!
Put on you're high-heel sneakers, honey why don't you put that wig down on you're head, whooo!
'Cause we're goin' out tonight baby, ooh ooh, I'm pretty sure you're gonna knock 'em dead

Put on you're red dress baby, 'cause we're goin' out tonight, yeeaahh come on now!
Put on you're red dress baby, we gonna go out tonight
And I'm gonna sharpen up my razor
'Cause some cats might wanna fight

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.
