The warden threw a party in the county jail |
|
The prison band was there and they began to wail |

The band was jumpin' and the joint began to swing |
|
You should've heard those knocked out jailbirds sing |
|
Let's rock |
|
Everybody, let's rock |
|
Everybody in the whole cell block |
|
Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock |
|
Spider Murphy played the tenor saxophone |
|
Little Joe was blowin' on the slide trombone |
|
The drummer boy from Illinois went crash, boom, bang |
|
The whole rhythm section was a purple gang |
|
Let's rock |
|
Everybody, let's rock |
|
Everybody in the whole cell block |
|
Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock |
|
Number 47 said to number 3 |
|
"You're the cutest jailbird I ever did see |
|
I sure would be delighted with your company |
|
Come on and do the Jailhouse Rock with me" |
|
Let's rock |
|
Everybody, let's rock |
|
Everybody in the whole cell block |
|
Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock, Rock, Rock |
|
Sad Sack was sittin' on a block of stone |
|
Way over in the corner weepin' all alone |
|
The warden said, "Hey, buddy, don't you be no square |
|
If you can't find a partner use a wooden chair" |
|
Let's rock |
|
Everybody, let's rock |
|
Everybody in the whole cell block |
|
Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock |
|
Shifty Henry said to Bugs, "For Heaven's sake |
|
No one's lookin', now's the chance to make a break" |
|
Bugsy turned to Shifty and he said, "Nix nix |
|
I wanna stick around a while and get my kicks" |
|
Let's rock |
|
Everybody, let's rock |
|
Everybody in the whole cell block |
|
Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock |
|
Dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock, dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock |
|
Dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock, dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock |

Dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock, dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock |
