[00:06.60] The warden threw a party in the county jail.
[00:09.25] The prison band was there and they began to wail.
[00:12.00] The band was jumpin' and the joint began to swing.
[00:14.79] You should've heard those knocked out jailbirds sing.
[00:17.51] Let's rock, everybody, let's rock.
[00:23.18] Everybody in the whole cell block
[00:26.19] Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock.
[00:28.42]
[00:29.26] Spider Murphy played the tenor saxophone,
[00:31.97] Little Joe was blowin' on the slide trombone.
[00:34.82] The drummer boy from Illinois went crash, boom, bang,
[00:37.71] The whole rhythm section was the Purple Gang.
[00:40.28] Let's rock, everybody, let's rock.
[00:46.05] Everybody in the whole cell block
[00:49.16] Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock.
[00:51.36]
[00:52.19] Number forty-seven said to number three:
[00:54.66] "You're the cutest jailbird I ever did see.
[00:57.81] I sure would be delighted with your company,
[01:00.42] Come on and do the Jailhouse Rock with me."
[01:03.09] Let's rock, everybody, let's rock.
[01:08.82] Everybody in the whole cell block
[01:11.97] Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock.
[01:13.90]
[01:26.45] The sad sack was a sittin' on a block of stone
[01:29.08] Way over in the corner weepin' all alone.
[01:31.83] The warden said, "Hey, buddy, don't you be no square.
[01:34.69] If you can't find a partner use a wooden chair."
[01:37.26] Let's rock, everybody, let's rock.
[01:43.14] Everybody in the whole cell block
[01:46.13] Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock.
[01:48.74]
[01:49.15] Shifty Henry said to Bugs, "For Heaven's sake,
[01:51.79] No one's lookin', now's our chance to make a break."
[01:54.67] Bugsy turned to Shifty and he said, "Nix nix,
[01:57.46] I wanna stick around a while and get my kicks."
[02:00.17] Let's rock, everybody, let's rock.
[02:05.55] Everybody in the whole cell block
[02:09.01] Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock.
[02:11.26]
[02:12.23] Dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock...
[02:31.77]
[02:32.92]
[02:33.56] END
