Wailin' on the corner like an ol' tomcat shoutin' and a shakin' almost off my bat
Who walks by me oh my jumpin' jeshosaphat big blon' baby
Yesterday she kissed me she was so divine
Fell right down and begged her to be mine all mine
Held her tight ooh good night jumpin' jeshosaphat big blon' baby
Big blon' baby ooh glory to be here I go again big blon' baby
Yeah Lord I love you so I love her love her so
I shiver and I quiver when she kisses me Lord she gonna set ol' Jerry Lee free
Held her tight ooh good night jumpin' jeshosaphat big blon' baby

Big blon' baby ooh glory to be here I go again big blon' baby
Yeah Lord I love you so I love her love her so
I shiver and I quiver when she kisses me Lord she gonna set ol' Jerry Lee free
Held her tight ooh good night jumpin' jeshosaphat big blon' baby

Big Blon' Baby I love you honey squeeze you with all my might yeah up tight
Whoa fade out gotta do grrr hang it in give it to me let it all hang out

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.
