Lyrics

[00:06.90] The warden threw a party in the county jail.
[00:09.65] The prison band was there and they began to wail.
[00:12.40] The band was jumpin' and the joint began to swing.
[00:14.96] You should've heard those knocked out jailbirds sing.
[00:17.70] Let's rock, everybody, let's rock.
[00:23.50] Everybody in the whole cell block
[00:26.56] Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock.
[00:29.24] Spider Murphy played the tenor saxophone,
[00:32.48] Little Joe was blowin' on the slide trombone.
[00:35.48] The drummer boy from Illinois went crash, boom, bang,
[00:38.29] The whole rhythm section was the Purple Gang.
[00:43.22] Let's rock, everybody, let's rock.
[00:46.64] Everybody in the whole cell block
[00:49.27] Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock.
[00:52.27] Number forty-seven said to number three:
[00:55.33] "You're the cutest jailbird I ever did see.
[00:58.19] I sure would be delighted with yourpany,
[01:01.19] Come on and do the Jailhouse Rock with me."
[01:03.81] Let's rock, everybody, let's rock.
[01:09.99] Everybody in the whole cell block
[01:12.61] Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock.
[01:27.10] The sad sack was a sittin' on a block of stone
[01:29.85] Way over in the corner weepin' all alone.
[01:32.34] The warden said, "Hey, buddy, don't you be no square.
[01:35.21] If you can't find a partner use a wooden chair."
[01:38.09] Let's rock, everybody, let's rock.
[01:41.70] Everybody in the whole cell block
[01:46.33] Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock.
[01:48.75] Shifty Henry said to Bugs, "For Heaven's sake,
[01:52.69] No one's lookin', now's our chance to make a break."
[01:55.31] Bugsy turned to Shifty and he said, "Nix nix,
[01:58.30] I wanna stick around a while and get my kicks."
[02:01.23] Let's rock, everybody, let's rock.
[02:04.42] Everybody in the whole cell block
[02:09.22] Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock.
[02:12.59] Dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock...
