Jerry Lee Lewis

Songwriter: Ben Raleigh Sherman Edwards

Producer: Steve Rowland

I want you to wear a high-school sweater
A high-school sweater with a high-school letter
I want you to be my sweet, sweet baby
I love you so much that I don't mean maybe

Dungaree Doll, oh, Dungaree Doll
Promise me you'll never will leave me
For any other guy; y'know you'd make me cry
I love you

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.
