Chantilly Lace
Jerry Lee Lewis Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Chantilly lace and a pretty face and a pony tail hangin' down
A wiggle and a walk and a giggle and a talk made the world go round
Ain't nothing in the world
Like a big eyed girl to make me act so funny make me spend my money
I feel real loose like a long necked goose
Like a whoa baby, that's what I like

Chantilly lace and a pretty face and a pony tail hangin' down
A wiggle and a walk and a giggle and a talk made the world go round
Ain't nothing in the world
Like a big eyed girl to make me act so funny make me spend my money
Make me fool real loose like a long necked goose
Like a whoa baby that's what I like

Chantilly lace pretty face pony tail hangin' down
A wiggle in her walk giggle in her talk it gonna make that world go around
Ain't nothing in the world like a big- eyed girl
Make me act so funny spend my doggone money
I feel real loose like a long neck goose like a whoa baby that's what I like

Chantilly lace pretty face pony tail hangin' down
A wiggle in her walk giggle in her talk it gonna make that world go around
Ain't nothing in the world like a big- eyed girl




Make me act so funny spend my doggone money
I feel real loose like a long neck goose like a whoa baby that's what I like

This is a great performance by Jerry! This record was nominated for a Grammy, it should have won!

Tommy Hall

Saw Jerry Lee live many moons ago, still reeling...

Andy Howlett

He could sure knock a rocker out. This is superb and always puts a big grin on my face!

Jerry Dalton

When I was a little kid my uncle would put this on the stereo and dance and sing it to me I've been in love with this song since then

SuperCatClaw

Lovely version! This song isn't so special - except for when Jerry Lee Lewis sings it! He makes it his song and he makes it sexy and really great! The other versions are everything from slightly boring to really vulgar and obscene. No, this is THE VERSION OF CHANTILLY LACE!! ;)

Another #1 hit for Da Killer on the Country & Western charts. It was the 227th #1 C&W song of the Rock Era. It also hit #1 on the Canadian RPM Country Tracks charts and make the Top 40 in the United Kingdom. This was also Jerry Lee Lewis' final #1 hit on any chart.

Alexander Speck
