Rockin' Jerry Lee

(album: When Two Worlds Collide - 1980)

Born on a farm in early Louisiana
At the age of 9, I had to have a piàna
My dad he mortgaged everything, the house and the farm
Pretty soon, son, there was some shaking going on

So, rock on (rock on)
Call me rocking Jerry Lee (rocking Jerry, Jerry Lee)
And I'm the rockin'est cat on piano that you ever did see

Well, I worked at a nice spot, the coal wagon wheel
The Natchez, Mississippi set a-back up on the hill
Rocking and a-rolling thru the early, early morn'
Sun'd come-a up-a back, work it on the farm

So, rock on (rock on)
Call me rocking Jerry Lee (rocking Jerry, Jerry Lee)
And I'm the rockin'est stud on piano that you ever did see
Yeah!

Well, I knew a little gal by the name of Becky Drive
Becky said, "go to Memphis, you're a full-on rocker now"
Went to Memphis, Tennessee, 'n picked up the phone
I said, "give me some a-records, there's some shaking going on"

Rock on (rock on)
Call me rocking Jerry Lee (rocking Jerry, Jerry Lee)
And I'm the rockin'est a-cat on piano that you ever did see

Woah, rock on (rock on)
Rock on (rock on)
Rock and roll, rock on (rock on)
And I'm the rockin'est a-man on piano that you ever did see
Yeah!

(Rock on, rocking Jerry)
(Rock on, rocking Jerry Lee)

(Whole lotta shaking going on)
(Whole lotta shaking going on)
(Rockin'est man on the piano that you ever did see)

(Rocking, Rocking Jerry Lee)
(Rocking, Rocking Jerry Lee)
(Rocking, Rocking Jerry Lee)
