Jerry Lee Lewis — Rock ‘n’ Roll Funeral

A black tow truck with the headlights on A-there's a slow procession 'cross the graveyard lawn Walked up to the back of a Coupe de Ville With a rock and roll singer sittin' at the wheel Obituary in the paper say 'Son, you just rocked your life away' "Don't Let Me Down" is his last request I want a rock n' roll funeral when they lay me to rest He was born with a rhythm burnin' in his soul That made the whole wild world wanna rock 'n' roll Could really hang it up and he wouldn't put it down He rocked and he rolled around in ev'ry little town One foot in the grave One foot on the gas He's an angel of the wheel An' he's headin' home fast Had a million women, had 'em standin' in line Paid a hundred million dollars but he blew ninety-nine Said, I can't take it with me so I do the next best I want a rock 'n' roll funeral when they lay me to rest Well, he's all dressed up in his sharkskin suit With a horseshoe ring and his alligator boots Backseat is full of gold records that he made And a baby grand piano that is gold inlaid Widow on the left, another on the right Third one in the middle says there's a-gonna be a fight Come here all you brothers, you can holler me death I want a rock n' roll funeral when they lay me to rest He was born with a rhythm burnin' in his soul That made the whole wild world wanna rock 'n' roll He didn't hang it up, he wouldn't put it down 'Cause he rocked an he rolled around in ev'ry little town One foot in the grave One foot on the gas He's an angel at the wheel An' he's headin' on back Had a million women, had 'em standin' in line A hundred million dollars but he blew ninety-nine Can't take it with me, so I'll do my next best I want a rock 'n' roll funeral when they lay me to rest Woo-woo-woo-ooo!
