From the Houston Astrodome to the blue skies over Rome
And in Paris with its towers so tall
There's a moon up above shared by everyone in love
Winter springtime in the summer and fall

And down the road to old Peru down in old Australia too
Men and women everywhere are fallin' in love
You'll find that every place love strikes the human race
They all share the same ol' moon up above

We look far ahead with that old moon we hold stead
And the people livin' there fallin' in love
You'll find that everyplace love strikes the human race
They all share the same ol' moon up above

And down the road to old Peru down in old Australia too
Men and women everywhere are fallin' in love
You'll find that every place love strikes the human race
They all share the same ol' moon up above
They all share the same ol' moon up above

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.
