Well, help me, mister fireman, please
You know I'm burnin' from my head to my knees
I'm a-flame with such a burning desire
The little girl set my soul on fire
She's got me burning up like a paper cup
I say: "mmmh… I'm on fire!!?"

Turn in full alarm
I'm a-flame from all of her charms
Oh, little firebug, can't you see
Can't you see what you're doin' to me?
She's got me burning up like a paper cup
I say: "mmmh… I'm on fire!!?"

And when my babe kisses me
I start shakin' like a ship on a stormy sea
And when I hear her say
"I'm gonna love you every minute of the day"
I start to roast like toast… ooh, wee!!

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.
