[Verse]
Well, listen here boys, I'm tellin' you now
They call me lovin' Dan
I rock and I roll 'em all night long
I'm a sixty minute man

[Refrain]
If you don't believe that I'm-a all that I'm a-sayin'
Come up here and take my hand
When I let you go, you cry, "Oh yeah
He's a sixty minute man"

[Chorus]
You give me fifteen minutes of kissin'
And then you holler, "Please don't stop"
Give me fifteen minutes of teasin'
And fifteen minutes of squeezin'
And fifteen minutes of blowin' my top

[Refrain]
Well, if you don't believe that I'm all I say
Come up and take my hand
When I let you go, you'll cry, "Oh yeah
He's a sixty minute man", let's go now

[Bridge]
Oh, boy

[Chorus]
Well, now give me fifteen minutes of kissin'
And then you'll holler, "Please don't stop"
Well, fifteen minutes of teasin'
And fifteen minutes of squeezin'
And fifteen minutes of blowin' my top, top, top

[Outro]
Well, if you don't believe that I'm all I say
Come up and take my hand
When I let you go, you'll cry, "Oh yeah
He's a sixty, sixty, sixty minute man"

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.
