jerry lee lewis - rock ‘n’ roll funeral lyrics

Loading...

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!
