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 shakin' goin' on

So, rock on (rock on)
Call me rockin' Jerry Lee (rockin' 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
Rockin' and a-rollin' thru the early, early morn'
Sun'd come-a up-a back, work it on the farm

So, rock on (rock on)
Call me rockin' Jerry Lee (rockin' 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 shakin' goin' on"

Rock on (rock on)
Call me rockin' Jerry Lee (rockin' 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, rockin' Jerry)
(Rock on, rockin' Jerry Lee)

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

(Rockin', Rockin' Jerry Lee)
(Rockin', Rockin' Jerry Lee)
(Rockin', Rockin' Jerry Lee)
