lyrics
ROCK ME JERRY LEWIS
by Mike Elliott & Bud Latour featuring Mark Jonathan Davis
Rock Me Jerry Lewis
Jerry Lewis
Jerry Lewis
(repeats)
Jerry Lewis, Jerry Lewis, Jerry Lewis, Jerry Lewis
(repeats)
Oooh Rock Me Jerry Lewis!
Oooh Rock Me Jerry Lewis!
Oooh Rock Me Jerry Lewis!
Oooh!
L-L-L-L-Lady, L-L-L-L-Lady
Tel-tel-tel-telethon, Tel-tel-tel-tel-telethon
1926, New Jersey, March 16th, Jerry Lewis is born in Newark
1946, at the age of 20, Jerry Lewis meets Dean Martin for the first time
1949, Martin & Lewis star in their first film, "My Friend Irma”
1956, Martin & Lewis release "Hollywood Or Bust," then split up
1963, on his own, Lewis stars in "The Nutty Professor"
1973, Lewis chooses Las Vegas as the home for the MDA telethons
Labor Day, 3 years later, Frank Sinatra reunites Martin & Lewis live on the telethon
In 1986, for no apparent reason, Mike Elliott & Bud Latour record "Rock Me Jerry Lewis"
Rock Rock Rock Me Jerry Lewis, Jerry
Ooh ooh, ooh
Jerry Lewis, Jerry Lewis, Jerry Lewis, Jerry Lewis
Whoa whoa whoa!
Jerry Lewis, Jerry Lewis, Jerry Lewis, Jerry Lewis
“Oooh! I’m sorry Mr. Element, uh, Mr. Elliott, and Bud. Oooh!
Uh, I want my, I want my, I want my…”
Oooh Rock Me Jerry Lewis!
Oooh Rock Me Jerry Lewis!
Oooh Rock Me Jerry Lewis!
Oooh Oooh!
