Well, come on over baby
Whole lot of shakin' goin' on
I said come on over baby
Baby, you can't go wrong
We ain't fakin'
Whole lotta shakin' goin' on

Well, I said come on over baby
We got chicken in the barn
Come on over baby
Really got the bull by the horn
We ain't fakin'
Whole lotta shakin' goin' on

Well, I said shake baby, shake it
I said shake baby, shake it
I said shake it baby, shake it
I said shake it baby, shake it
Come on over
Whole lotta shakin' goin' on

Easy now ...
I said shake
Shake it baby
You can shake one time for me
Well, come over baby
Whole lot of shakin' goin' on

Now real low
All you gotta do honey
Is just stand in one tight little spot
And baby wiggle it around
Just a littlelittlelittlelittle bit
And that's when you flat out
Smack dab have got somethin', you know?
Well, let's go!

[Instrumental bridge]

Shake it baby, shake it
Shake it baby, shake it
I said shake it baby, shake it
Move it baby, move it
I ain't fakin', whole lotta shakin' goin' on

Come on over baby
Don't you know you gotta give me the barn
Whose barn, what barn, my barn
Hey-y'all, I got the bull by the horn
Honey, I ain't fakin', I love it all night long
Well, come on, come on, come on, come on baby
Come on, come on, come on, all right
Come on, come on, let's go, let's go
Let's go, let's go, let's go

Well, shake baby, shake it
Shake it baby, shake it
I said shake it baby, shake it
I said shake baby, shake it
I ain't fakin', whole lotta shakin' goin' on
Come on baby
Shake it baby, shake it
Shake it baby, shake it
I said shake it baby, shake it
Move it baby, move it
I ain't fakin', whole lotta shakin' goin' on

Whole lot of shakin goin' on

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.
