Jerry Lee Lewis' album version
Bruce Springsteen: | Come on now, Killer! |
Jerry Lee Lewis: | Well now you may think I'm foolish |
For the foolish things I do | |
You may wonder how come I love you | |
When you get on my nerves like you do | |
Well baby you know you bug me | |
Ain't no secret 'bout that | |
Well come on over here and hug me, baby | |
I'll show you where it's at | |
I ain't into your money | |
Baby I got plenty of that | |
I love you for your pink Cadillac | |
Crushed velvet seats | |
Hidin' in the back | |
Oozing down the street | |
Waving to the girls | |
Feeling out of sight | |
Go spending all my money | |
On a Saturday night | |
Springsteen and Lewis: | Honey I just wonder what you do there in the back |
Of your pink Cadillac, pink Cadillac | |
Jerry Lee Lewis: | Whoah! |
Jerry Lee Lewis: | Way back in the Bible |
Temptation always come along | |
Springsteen and Lewis: | Always somebody tempting somebody |
Jerry Lee Lewis: | Into doing something they know is wrong |
Well they tempt men with silver | |
And they tempt you, sir, with gold, whoah! | |
Springsteen and Lewis: | And they tempt you with the pleasure |
Jerry Lee Lewis: | That flesh does surely hold |
They say | |
Springsteen and Lewis: | Eve tempted Adam with an apple |
But man, I ain't going for that | |
Jerry Lee Lewis: | I know it was her |
Springsteen and Lewis: | Pink Cadillac |
Crushed velvet seats | |
Riding in the back | |
Oozing down the street | |
Waving to the girls | |
Feeling out of sight | |
Jerry Lee Lewis: | Spending all my money |
On a Saturday night | |
Springsteen and Lewis: | Honey I just wonder what it feels like in the back |
Of your pink Cadillac, pink Cadillac | |
Jerry Lee Lewis: | Whoah! |
Bruce Springsteen: | Oh, that's right! |
Jerry Lee Lewis: | Whoah! Whoah! |
Bruce Springsteen: | Now come on! |
Jerry Lee Lewis: | Yeah some folks say it's a little too big |
And | |
Bruce Springsteen: | Whoah! |
Jerry Lee Lewis: | Uses too much gas |
Springsteen and Lewis: | Some folks say it's too old |
And goes just a little too fast | |
Jerry Lee Lewis: | But my love is bigger than a Honda |
Bruce Springsteen: | That's right |
It's bigger than a Subaru | |
And man there's only one thing | |
Springsteen and Lewis: | And there's one car that will do |
Jerry Lee Lewis: | Anyway we don't |
Springsteen and Lewis: | have to drive it |
We can park it out in back | |
And have a party in your pink Cadillac | |
Crushed velvet seats | |
Riding in the back | |
Oozing down the street | |
Waving to the girls | |
Feeling out of sight | |
Jerry Lee Lewis: | Spending all my money on a Saturday night |
Springsteen and Lewis: | Honey I just wonder what you do there in the back |
Of your pink Cadillac; pink Cadillac | |
Bruce Springsteen: | Whoah! |
Jerry Lee Lewis: | Rrrr! |
Yeah baby! | |
Put the seat down a little bit | |
I'll show you a trick | |
The killer will show you a trick, baby | |
Bruce Springsteen: | Whoah, come on, Killer |
Jerry Lee Lewis recorded PINK CADILLAC as a duet with Bruce Springsteen. He released it on his Last Man Standing album on 26 Sep 2006 (U.S. release date). Springsteen shares harmony vocals on the track.
Around November 2003, Springsteen overdubbed backing vocals for the Jerry Lee Lewis cover of Springsteen's own PINK CADILLAC. The basic track had been recorded by Lewis in another studio some months earlier, and Bruce merely added his parts at Thrill Hill Recording (Springsteen's home studio) in Rumson, NJ. His contribution was one of the first completed for a work-in-progress album that turned out to be the much-delayed album Last Man Standing, released in September 2006.
In the works for years, Jerry Lee Lewis' first new studio album in more than a decade is finally seeing the light of day, released on 26 Sep 2006 on the Artists First Records label. Last Man Standing consists of duets between Lewis and some of the biggest names in music, past and present. The title derives from the generation of 1950's Sun Studios recording artists such as Johnny Cash, Roy Orbison, Charlie Rich, Carl Perkins, and Elvis Presley, all of whom had died, leaving Lewis the "last man standing".
Receiving positive reviews, Last Man Standing charted in four different Billboard charts, including a 9-week stay on the Billboard 200 where it peaked at number 26.
