Original subtitles

Don't go.

You don't have to come if you don't want to, cousin.

My dad will whip me if he finds out I went to the chocolate quarter with you.

Kimberly Swagger, go yellow.

I am not.

Thank you.

How great I am.

How great I am.

Myra, ain't it?

Yeah.

How are you?

Well, I'm your daddy's cousin. I'm Jerry Lee Lewis from Faraday, Louisiana.

Your Aunt Mamie's boy.

I heard about you.

Yeah, they say you're a wild one.

Well, when it comes to playing this here piano, you are looking at the wildest

mother of them all.

What are you doing around here?

Well, me and your daddy are putting together a band.

I'm going to be the main attraction, of course. I've got a ferocious, God -given

talent on me.

We're going over to Sun Records.

We're going to eyeball this Sam Phelps fellow, see if he can get us a record

going. Sam Phelps discovered Elvis, you know.

I know.

I got all Elvis' records.

Oh, Elvis ain't so hot.

He can't do this.

Well, you sure think a whole lot of yourself, don't you?

Sure I do.

Don't you?

Me?

I ain't nobody. I'm only 13.

Well, you look all woman to Jerry Lee.

My gal, you better behave yourself.

I am!

Jerry Lee here is a married man.

Ain't that right, Jerry Lee?

Uh, that's not necessarily so, Lois.

And what do you mean by that?

Well, you see, I was still married to my first wife, and I married my second

wife. So I never really was married to my second wife, and since I divorced my

first wife a couple of years ago, I'm ready to burn the tree.

Well, hello.

Hey, babe.

Hey, you ready to go?

Where? Where? It's on record.

What, now?

Hell, yeah, now. What do you think I've been waiting around all day for?

All right.

Daddy, can I go, too? Little girl, you tell them to do your homework.

Sorry Mr. Phillips couldn't be here today, boys, but I'll play those tapes

wait for him as soon as he gets back.

Are you sure we recorded nothing, Mr. Clement?

I mean, I can play anything you want. Anything at all.

You're good, boy. You're good. But a piano ain't never gonna make you any

Little girls like guitar players nowadays.

I like to watch them wiggle around.

You can't do that behind a piano.

Great Jerry Lee Lewis.

You ain't heard him yet.

But he will. It's a guaranteed fact.

Thank you, Lord, for this, your bountiful blessing.

Protect and guide us in your everlasting grace.

For what we are about to receive, we give thanks.

Amen. Amen.

Amen.

Hey, look.

Have some. I'll make love.

Hey, Deb.

Clark.

What in holy hell is wrong with him?

Sam Phelps was supposed to be back four days ago.

He looks weak and struggling. Poor Jerry Lee Knott.

Are you ready, Mr. Phillips? Roll it.

Anna, huh?

I can

sell that.

that discovered Elvis. Mr. Sam Phillips, good old Sam's son, records tells me

that this boy he's got is going to be bigger than the Biggie, Carl Perkins,

Johnny Cash, all three of them combined.

That's me!

Go meet Sam Phillips.

Hey.

For Pete's sakes, Jerry.

Hi, Jay Brown and Jerry Lee Lewis to meet Sam Phillips.

Let me do the talking, all right?

Sam?

Jay Duncan Brown, remember me?

And, uh, Jerry Lee Lewis here.

Mr. Phillips?

You take a white ride.

And what do you got?

Son, you got rock and roll.

Jerry, I got big plans for them hands.

Well, Mr. Phillips, his hands can heal the sick, raise the dead, make little

girls talk right out of their heads.

Hallelujah.

Jerry Lee Lewis, J .W. Brown, say hello to my brother, Judd Phillips.

My brother here's got a real good feeling about that hot piece of wax you

cut. I'm the leg man here. I move the merchandise.

And it's moving time.

You'll butt us flat in no time.

Sam here don't understand that you have to spend money to make money.

That makes sense.

And Judd here don't understand that you cannot spend what you do not have.

That's a good point there.

And that is from the genius who sold Elvis Presley for $35 ,000.

I've got bigger fish to fry.

Jerry, how would you like to become a member of the Sun

family?

Golly, where do I find it? On the dotted line. Maybe I better take a look at

that first.

You the manager?

Well, sure I am.

Ain't that right, Jerry?

Uh, yes, Mr. Phillips. He's my manager. He's my bass player, too.

We're family.

But he won't have to read it, because we trust you, Mr. Phillips.

Oh, man.

We're going to batter eardrums from coast to coast, man.

I'm done.

Mr. Phillips!

Give me a pack of balls.

Elvis?

How'd you boys like to meet the king of rock and roll?

Well, hell yeah!

The red -nosed reindeer had a very shiny nose.

And if you ever saw it, you would even say it glows.

All of the other reindeers used to laugh and call him names.

They never let poor Rudolph join in any reindeer games.

I'm of

the

opinion that a God -given talent like yours ought to be used for the glory of

God. Well, Colonel, I'm of the opinion that a God -given talent ought to be for

the glory of the talented.

Jimmy!

How come you acting like this?

Boy, you got a smart mouth on you, talking about God that way.

Loosen up, Colonel.

Look, I know you.

You're my brother. You're just like me if you wouldn't fight it so hard.

So why don't you and me all go on down to Chocolate Court and have some fun

we used to. You remember how to have fun, don't you? Now I'm going to tell

something that really isn't close here.

God will not be mocked.

He speaks through those two hands of yours or tries to.

Your music is meant to serve him.

You were raised to preach his word.

Yeah, but his word is dealt.

And I got this thing inside me that says, do, do, do.

Don't you believe in God anymore?

Of course I do.

You know that I do.

Then talk to him and listen to what he has to say.

Read this.

Narrow is the way.

To life everlasting.

Other side.

Broad is the road that leadeth to destruction.

They're like heads or tails, ain't it?

You keep it, Jerry Lee.

You keep it to remind you that every day you live, you have a choice whether or

not to serve God.

I will.

Choice is Jerry Lee.

Talk to God.

Lord, I just want to serve you.

And I want to preach your word.

Hallelujah.

Just give me one hit record.

shaking going on.

Well, don't be afraid, little girl.

They're calling me Jerry Lee.

What's the matter? Don't you like it?

My mama don't want me listening to rock and roll music.

She says it leads to impure thoughts.

I was right.

It is the devil's music.

What are you playing, Mr. Phillips? Yeah.

Roy Hall had a country version of that a couple of years ago.

No big deal.

Yes, sir. Mine's rock and roll.

Yeah, but, man, we can't put out a song like that.

Man, it's too suggestive.

Everybody knows a whole lot of shaking is what humping is all about.

Yes, sir, but that's why the kids are going to love it. And the parents ain't

going to stand for it. Play something else. Mr. Phillips, Jeremy can play

anything, anywhere, anytime, but that shaking song is going to get them all

beat.

Well, I'm going right at the girl that I love.

After she just...

electric company. You can't do that, Jay. We're going to cut another record

soon. Crazy arms didn't make us a nickel, man. I got four mouths to feed.

big mouth is five.

Jay, tell you what I'm going to do. We're going to be partners.

50 -50.

What do you say? What's 50 % of nothing, man?

shaking song man we can't play that nigger music in here he's redneck mike

lynch's are you crazy yeah

Shake it, baby, shake it. I said shake it, baby, shake it. Come on over.

Oh, now they're shaking on all.

He's the nine that's shaking.

Shake it, baby.

You can shake it one time for me.

Come on over, baby. Oh, they're shaking on all.

And that's when you flat out smack. Dad have

got bumpin', you know.

and being banned by radio stations all over the South.

And now the preachers are getting involved in the act.

Don't get your head turned by a bunch of Bible thumpers, brother.

Give me some money. If you don't, you're going to lose him like you lost Elvis.

All right, take the son of a bitch to New York.

Shake it, baby, shake it.

Shake it, baby, shake it. I said shake it, baby, shake it.

Thank you. Thank you.

ballad show two weeks ago, Whole Lotta Shakin' has sold 200 ,000 copies,

has hit number 10 on the pop charts, and is zooming higher every day.

Everybody is going crazy for his pumping piano sound. This boy can make a horse

stop and listen.

He is an action artist.

Jerry, I'd like to present you with this.

Your first royalty check.

There's more zeros here than there was Fs on my third grade report card.

Is that $4 ,000?

No, it's $40 ,000. $40 ,000?

50 -50 number.

Some religious people are taking exception to the suggestiveness of your

and its savage animal riff.

Well, it just comes out that way naturally. I can't help it. Well, hasn't

song been banned by several radio stations?

They say it's against God.

Well, I don't understand that.

I serve him gladly. I sing.

I shout.

It's not my fault I don't play like some old lady.

Amen, Father Lewis. Amen.

Come on, let's go home and get these bags.

Any plans of selling Lewis to a major label like you did with Elvis?

that look in his eye, that boy could get himself and us in a whole lot of

trouble. Oh, hell.

He may be a little wild, but he's a good old boy. He's been staying at your

place, hasn't he?

Boy, yeah.

But it's awful crowded.

Look, Jay, it's like this.

If Casanova over there can live with you, you can keep an eye on him. Keep

out of trouble.

Keep those checks rolling in.

Ow, ow.

All right, I guess we can scooch things around a little. Well, that's fine, Jay,

fine.

There's the big man.

Oh, freight train coming through.

I really do appreciate you folks taking me in like this. I really do, Jay.

Well, shoot, cousin, we're glad to have you here.

Well, it just goes to show you how important family really is.

Sure is better than that old couch.

Well, you just make yourself right at home here, cousin.

Thank you, Lois.

Thank you very much.

What say you and me take a drive down to the cream cup?

Hey.

Take him to the car.

Hello, girls.

Can I get a couple of cones? Oh, no, stop, stop.

No dip, no dip.

What's your name, young lady?

Nice, bright, clean, beautiful.

What's your name, young lady?

Missy. Missy, that's a very nice name.

Oh, you think you can take it out of this?

$40 ,000!

Well, we don't have that kind of change.

Oh, gosh, I'm sorry, ladies. That's all I've got. I've got to go.

Get yourself a house.

Well, thank you very much.

Well, that's the apocalypse.

That's in Revelations in your Bible.

You know, I go along fine all day at the goal.

And then at night, when I lay down, I think to myself,

is this the night the bomb's going to come?

All I ever wanted was a little pink house.

Blue door.

Little baby sitting in a high chair.

Who do you see coming up to walk that pink house?

I don't know.

You don't know?

Well, you think he might be about, oh, six foot tall.

Big blue eyes and wavy killer blonde hair.

Oliver can't laugh.

And $1 ,000 makes $40 ,000.

Just one thing.

Everybody likes my rocket 88.

Baby, we'll ride in style.

Move it all along.

V8 motor is smart and designed. Black convertible top and the gas don't mind.

It's born with me riding all right.

Before you just wait one minute, because I'm going to ask the Lord to come down

and heal this woman.

So I got down and I asked the Holy Spirit to make her whole again. And the

Spirit, lo and behold, came down and made her good as new.

Glory, hallelujah, praise God.

Well,

here's my cousin, Jerry Lee.

Well,

I really doubt that it's in the Lord's top ten. Rock and roll is the devil's

music. Rock and roll is rhythm.

A feeling. A feeling that emanates from the pit of hell.

Well, that feeling got me a hit record.

A hit record.

Do you still have that coin I gave to you one time?

As a matter of fact, I do.

Choices, Jerry Lee. This whole life is all about choices.

What choice are you going to make with your music, with your life?

I don't play or sing as well as you do.

Well, I heard that.

But all that I have belongs to God.

What would happen if you gave him all you had?

As a matter of fact, cousin, I just might do that one day. Praise God.

What about today?

What? Do you remember what you said you would do if you got a hit record? You

said you would go out and preach his word.

Did I say that?

That's funny. I don't remember saying that. I must have been drunk.

But the Lord remembers, cousin.

Well, is this that car that God healed for you?

Well, that was six months ago. She's up and died on me now. Well, why don't you

just lay hands on her right here? I'd like to see that myself.

Cousin, you cannot ask the Lord for more help than you are willing to help

yourself. He's gotten me along this far. Why don't you just let this old

Oldsmobile here get you a little further along?

You made a choice just then, Jerry Lee.

From your singing can this car, and from this car will come the spreading of

God's word.

Amen.

Thank you, Jesus.

Well, don't thank Jesus. Thank Jerry Lewis.

Praise God.

Is that Tom Meyer again?

I don't watch that movie.

Well,

what do you think?

You know, Jay, I reckon hooking up with Jerry Lee is about the best. This thing

ever happened to us?

Look here at what I'm going to buy next.

The kitchen of tomorrow.

Today.

What in the hell are they doing in there?

Would you just leave them alone?

They're just watching TV.

Why move?

Here comes the creepy mouse. Here comes the creepy mouse.

So I just don't know.

I don't know what happened.

No!

Thank you.

Buried Lee Lewis can blow Chuck Berry right off of that stage. Why do I have

go on before him? Because he's had six number one hits and you've had only two

in the top ten.

Well, who's got the number one record right now?

You. My point exactly.

He should go on before me.

Can't. It's in his contract that he closes the show.

Okay, Cat.

That's the way you want it.

I

want

to love you like a lover should.

You're mine.

Okay. I got to tell this world that you're mine, mine, mine, mine. I feel my

love when I play with my phone.

I'm real happy because the show is fun.

Come on, baby.

Drive me crazy.

Goodness gracious.

Football for five yards.

You see, that... Hey!

Don't be a bad sport.

You got what you wanted, and I got what I wanted.

Hey, you!

He cut off my goddamn hair!

Women.

I ain't never getting married.

They all turn on you. First chance to get their flat on their back in bed with

some other bastard.

You take J .W. there.

You don't have to fool around. He's got the perfect wife, Lois.

She's a lady first and foremost, quiet and reserved, always stylishly dressed.

You never have to ask for his dinner or hunt for his clean socks.

You gotta get them while they're young. You take them right from their mama, and

you raise them up there right by you to keep them true.

You raise them just like you would a bird dog.

Jerry, is that you?

Did I wake you, darling?

I was dreaming.

About me?

Oh, maybe.

In that pink house with that blue door and the little baby in that high chair.

Quit teasing. You're going to give me the silly again.

Myra Gell -Brown.

What are you doing calling home like this all the time?

Just talking to Myra. Who are you talking to at 3 o 'clock in the morning?

Well, what for, ma 'am?

Cheering her up about her schoolwork?

It's dearly, wasn't it?

Don't lie.

She don't need cheering up ten times a day now, does she?

Answer me.

Nothing else to do.

He's just feeling far from home and he wanted to hear a friendly voice is all.

Well, if it don't stop, we're fixing to send her off to boarding school.

It's number one on the national charts. Knocked Elvis Presley's teddy bear right

off of there. And remember, you heard it first right here on WHBQ Red Hot Blue.

Look Magazine was calling him the other day the wild man of rock. And now we've

got a preview of something brand new that's called High School Confidential.

Everybody's dancing to this one.

Open up, honey, if you love a boy, means of knocking.

You better listen to me. Everybody boppin' and boppin' at the high school

Come on, little mama, let me show you what I want to do.

My name is Jerry Lee Hood. I'm on a burning old boat machine.

Oh, heart, the beat and rhythm of my soul is the singing of blues.

Well, I've been boppin' at the high school hop.

I've been shakin' at the high school hop.

I've been rollin' at the high school hop.

Lookin' at the high school hop.

Look at everybody hoppin'. Everybody boppin' and boppin' at the high school

Yeah. Yeah.

Thank you.

Where are you going?

I want you to take a look in that glove compartment there. I want to show you

something.

Marriage license.

I thought you had to stand there and say something.

Well, there's only a permit, Mara.

Oh, so we ain't married.

Not yet.

But that's my prayer.

I'm asking you to marry me.

Me?

I love you.

Jerry. Jerry, I'm only 13 years old.

Well, hey, my sister, Frankie Jane, she was only 12 when she got married.

But... But you're as old as my daddy.

What? Oh, hell, I ain't that old.

Can we just wait three or four years?

I've got two hit records.

I've got six months of dates booked up in advance. I've got me a hundred

thousand dollars.

What more do you need?

I don't know.

I've got some time to think.

Why don't you think about that pink house with the blue door?

Blue -eyed, blonde -haired son of God.

Do you, Myra Gayle Brown, take this man, Jerry Lee

Lewis, to be your lawful wedded husband, to have and to hold

from this day forward till death?

Do you part?

I do.

I now pronounce you husband and wife.

Who's going to tell your folks?

You. You tell them.

No, you tell them.

No, Jerry, you tell them.

No, you tell them.

Thank you, Jerry Lee.

Will you look at this?

Right.

I knew it! The mirror.

Jay, what are you doing?

I'm going to go kill that son of a bitch.

Mr. Phillips?

Hey, man.

Son, son,

son. Glad you could come in, Jerry. We've just been talking about you. I

talk to you, too. Can you believe it's been almost a year since you first came

to sun and cut your first record? And we sure have come a long way since then,

ain't we? Yes, sir, we sure have. Your new song's coming out in a big movie?

High school confidential is going to be a bigger hit than great balls of fire.

Well, thank you very much, but Mr. Phillips, I've got... We've got a brand

five -year contract to talk about.

In the spring, we're going to be taking that big tour to England.

England? Over there.

You're bigger than Elvis.

Bigger than Elvis?

Say, don't you want J .W. to read that over first? J .W.? He's your partner,

isn't he?

Mr. Phillips, I've really got to tell you something.

It's... Yeah.

Hi, Lois.

Uh -huh.

You don't say.

Oh, you don't say.

Yeah, yeah.

Our boy here just up and married J .W.'s daughter, Myra.

What? That's what I've been trying to tell you.

We've been holding back from telling our folks, and... I told you the boy should

have had a place of his own. Well, it's too late now. The dam was done broke

loose, and there is all kinds of hell coming down.

Well, I guess they didn't take it none too good, did they?

J .W. is on his way over here right now to shoot your ass full of holes. We got

to get this boy out of here. I mean it, brother.

And by the way, brother, next time, let me handle the accommodation.

Nobody here.

Where is that son of a bitch? He's gone. Bullshit!

Jay, come on in here. Let's talk about this thing.

There ain't a goddamn thing to talk about, Sam.

I'm gonna kill him. I swear I will kill him. There are other ways to handle this

thing, man.

Give me the gun.

All right.

I'm gonna call the police.

I'll have that little shit charged with bigamy, incest.

Kidnapping? I'll put his ass away for the rest of his life.

Think about it for a second.

You don't know if she's gonna have a baby or what.

A baby?

It's happened before.

Man, she's only 13 years old.

You know something?

Who's to say things won't work out between them?

Man, I've seen this happen a hundred times before.

Sometimes they'll surprise you.

They may have a good life together.

Maybe not, but... You're gonna have to live with your actions for the rest of

your life.

Okay.

No, not anymore.

It's just her.

Well, I just want you to know that I love my her with all my heart.

And I'm going to take real good care of her.

Jerry, she's just a child.

She may be in here, but not inside where it counts.

And if you're worried about my little girl now, do not love her.

She loves me.

So I just hope you'll understand.

And I hope that Jay will understand, too, and stay on with the band now that

we're making all this money.

Come on, Beto.

Come on.

That's Graceland.

That's where Elf lives.

It's a sad day for the women of America.

If you hadn't already heard, Elvis Presley was inducted into the army

Can't help but make a fellow wonder, who's going to be the next king of rock

roll? That's going to be you. I know it will. Goodbye, Elvis. We're going to

miss you. And you'll be my queen?

Look,

baby doll. Look right there. Look at that. What's that?

What's that? It's a big house with a blue door. That's what that is.

In the kitchen, in the dining room, over here.

I just want you to know, Jay, she ain't pregnant.

I married her because I love her.

Now y 'all are gonna be one big happy family.

One, two, three.

Oh, my heart's going round and round.

And my love, it comes on tumbling down.

You, you leave me breathless.

Oh,

my, my, take all over. I think you know why.

They call me love, there shouldn't be no lie.

Call me when you call my name. I've been burned like a wooden plane. You.

It's Beth Melissa!

Woo!

I'm going to get you, girl, wherever you go.

years old.

You're all wounded, Jeremy.

the creepy miles

baby

it's great

How did you learn to move like that?

Take it just go on and take it take the whole thing

I wonder if I shall.

We must obey the creeds and codes that we've sworn our lives to.

I know that I must not come back.

And I know that nothing in this world can keep me away.

I'm back, Benidau.

Oh, Jerry.

I don't care what you did for me.

But, Jerry, I never...

30

shows

in six cities in 37 days.

Man, we're going to make us a pile of money.

Yeah, how much? Like, more or less.

Here he come.

The next king of rock and roll.

Uh -oh.

Hi, Daddy.

What in the hell are you doing here?

Wherever Jerry Lee Lewis goes, Myra Gale Lewis goes, too.

Uh, Jerry, we've been going all over the plans for your big tour to England.

Want to take a look?

I'm so excited. I always wanted to go to England.

Well, little lady, we don't think it might be such a good idea if you would

along on this particular trip.

Why not?

Well, the folks over there, they might not understand about your marriage.

You being so young and all.

Well, we'll just say she's 15, and that'll be all right, won't it? No.

The paper's over there saying that you could be the next king of rock and roll.

But you gotta act accordingly.

Yeah.

Hey, Sarah, I want to go.

You're my daughter, and you ain't going.

Well, she's my wife, and I say she is going.

I ain't going.

I ain't going neither.

It's all right, ma 'am. She's my wife.

Well, maybe if someone got me a wedding ring, people wouldn't do us that away.

I'm going back to talk to Mama. Hey, smell that.

Lay down.

I'm going to buy you the finest wedding ring in all of London, England.

I hate covering arrivals.

I didn't hear you complaining when it was Liberace. Oh, look here, you're not

suggesting that an artiste of Liberace's stature can be likened to the boogie

-woogie of a gum -chewing country bumpkin.

Look at him, Scott! He's the new king of rock and roll!

Mr Lewis! Mr Lewis!

How do you think British youngsters will respond to your...

Excuse me, miss.

Are you related to Mr. Lewis?

I'm Frankie Jean, Jerry Lee's sister.

Oh, yes.

And what about you, Miss?

I'm his wife.

I beg your pardon, I didn't quite catch that.

I'm Miss Jerry Lee Lewis.

Mr. Lewis, is it true that you're married to this girl?

Yes,

I am.

I'm proud of it.

My little bride, Myra Gale Lewis.

But she looks so young. How old is she? Uh, she's 15.

15? Say 15. 15 years old?

Isn't that a bit young to be a wife?

Gosh, no. Back home, people get married at 10. One girl got wed at 9.

Married at 10?

Wed at 9?

How could you?

I love her.

She's only a baby.

Yesterday, Britons were shocked to discover that visiting American rock and

star Mr. Jerry Lee Lewis was married to a 15 -year -old girl.

Look there.

My baby's famous.

Well, brace yourself, England. The child bride in question is 13 years of age.

And furthermore, she's his cousin.

Cousin twice removed.

You're on every front page in England.

Child bride is so young.

I beg you to keep your big mouth shut.

A few pictures of mine ain't no big deal.

Jerry, this is a big deal.

I mean, will you listen to this guy?

Let's show Mr. Lewis what we think of him and his baby -snatching ways.

Tell Mr. Phelps we've got nothing to be ashamed of.

Now, the moment you've all been waiting for, that fabulous rock and roll

sensation from the U .S. of A. Jerry Lee Lewis.

Hello, England. How are you all doing?

I hope y 'all aren't as dead as you sound.

I'm alive.

What you doing to me?

You got me burning up like a paper cup. I'm on fire.

Put a lid on it. Jerry.

Jerry,

just play. Got married before God.

And what's between me and my.

us and God and everybody else can just mind their own business.

concert great well all those english girls try to rip your clothes off

please to

act in case of child bride home office to investigate good morning

investigate what they're calling you a bigamist they found out you weren't

divorced from your second wife when you married myra here you mean

I never was married to my second wife in the first place. I already told you I

didn't mean to get a divorce.

Yeah. Take a look down there.

We're under siege.

They don't want us here.

Oh, they're just curious. They want to come by and see the new king.

Stan, they're angry with you because of me.

Don't let that bother you, baby doll.

You're just going to have to get used to being my queen.

God.

The promoters have canceled the tour.

The government is trying to deport you.

We're washed up here, kids.

We're getting out.

Well, what if I don't want to go?

Well, why would you want to stay?

I promised Myra I'd buy her a wedding ring.

What do I need a ring for?

We ain't even married.

You're my wife and I love you.

And I'll marry you a hundred times to prove it if I have to.

What

do

you think of your king now?

Yeah, you're right.

Elvis Presley is the true king.

What was that?

He said Mr. Presley is the true king of rock and roll.

You know, y 'all would have lost the war without us. You just think about that.

Do you think your expulsion from England is a repudiation of rock and roll? They

cancelled Jerry Lee's tour because of our marriage, not because of his music.

We've been beat up pretty bad because of this publicity.

But Meyer and I love each other, and we mean to keep it that way. Jerry, looking

ahead, don't you think your popularity will be diminished at home?

Back home, they take a different view of this sort of a thing. I expect a great

reception when I get back there. My fans will understand.

Mr.

Lewis, do you have any final words for England?

Yeah.

England can kiss my ass.

Up in the morning, I'm out on the job.

Working like a devil for my pay.

Just like that lucky old son.

Give me nothing to do but roll around heaven

all day.

a double ring ceremony, a wedding ring and a teething ring.

You've heard of sack dresses?

Myra wears sack diapers.

She can't go to see her husband's show. Her bedtime is 8 .30.

What's this all about?

Uh... Jerry, we were thinking that maybe it

would be a good idea if we took out a full -page ad.

In a billboard? In a billboard.

Sort of a... An apology.

It might get your phone to start ringing again.

Who are you people?

Who are you that walk in my house and tell me to apologize?

You're making more off me than you ever made off Elvis.

Jerry Lee, I don't... What, you in on this too?

Huh?

I see that you are.

You all want Jerry Lee just to get down on his knees so you can go on getting

your little piece of him?

Dogs. You're all a bunch of snapping dogs in my heel.

You see this hand?

It makes $5 ,000 a night. You see this one? It does too.

$10 ,000 a night I've made.

Man, I am Jerry Lee Lewis.

I am the goddamn king. I have a God -given talent.

I shine like gold when I play that piano.

And you want me to bend my knee?

And what the hell I got to do?

I married the girl I love.

I married her twice.

And I sang and I played my guts out.

I shine like gold.

Don't you tell me to apologize.

Your telephone hasn't been ringing, Jerry.

You sign this, it may well start.

Hey, good Lord above, can you hear me

finding?

Here's Robin, oh, here is I.

You can show me you're ever gone.

I quit.

Take me a time. I quit.

Wash Jerry Lee's rubble away.

Like that lucky old song.

Give me nothing.

Show me your river.

Take me across.

Wash your release rubble away.

Like that lucky old sun.

Give me nothing to do.

Let me roll around heaven.

Just roll.

Do you believe I'm sorry?

I am.

It's my hand to God.

Oh.

You know, you can't hit me no more, Jerry.

I just said I was sorry, didn't I?

Yeah, but that ain't what I mean.

Well, I know what you mean.

You're never gonna let me forget this, are you?

No, Jerry, that ain't it at all. Oh, yes, it is.

Well, you think you're the only one that gets hit around here?

You don't think I get hit?

Jerry, please listen to me. You don't think that in a day goes by that I don't

get smacked by some, like, FEMA promoter or some chicken liver disc jockey or

some lying reporter?

Jerry! Jerry!

Two cousins.

Closer than brothers.

Who came upon two roads that diverged.

Now one took the dirt path.

The less traveled way.

Serving the Lord.

For the reward that waits in heaven.

Others started down the wide street.

paved with gold, hypnotizing millions of disciples in the sin that

is the devil's music.

Rock and roll is like a painting woman.

And he could not resist her charms.

Along the way, he married.

of his soul there is no salvage for him in god no not true but i say that anyone

who is ready to accept jesus christ into their life let him come forward and say

Are you ready to accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior?

Rapture her up, Lord!

Hallelujah!

Cousin, do you still have that coin I gave you?

I've got it, cousin.

Cousin, the time has come for you to choose.

Will you choose the gold...

Nothing I can do about it.

So if I'm going to hell,

I'm going there playing the...

I'm a wild one.

Hey, baby, I'm a wild one.

I'm going to keep on shaking, baby, going to keep on moving, baby, don't you

grab my style. I'm a real wild child.

Come on, baby, shake it all night long.

I'm going to shake it till I think I'm a wild one.

Hey, baby, I'm a wild one.

I'm going to keep on shaking, baby, going to keep on moving, baby, don't you

grab my style.

Damn!

I just can't stop. I'm a wild one.

Hey, girl, I'm a wild one.

I'm going to keep on shaking, baby, going to keep on moving, baby, nothing

around my style. I'm a real wild child.

Come on, baby, I'm a real wild child.

Come on, baby, I'm a real wild child. Come on, baby.

Thank you.

Thank you.

I'm going to do my little boogie -woogie every day.

Yep, going wild to the boogie -woogie hut. Put my boogie -woogie, make you

to stop and do the bop. It's all a little boogie, a little way.

Oh, I do my little boogie -woogie every day.

I meant to stand to see time, but for every breath that sets on you, you're

nothing but a hound. You take my boogie -woogie to keep you in a groove. When

you stack a really axe against your shovel to run the movie. It's all the

boogie, the Lewis way.

Doesn't do my little boogie -woogie every day.
