Elvis Presley - Jailhouse Rock |
|
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 the Purple Gang. |
|
Let's rock, everybody, let's rock. |
|
Everybody in the whole cell block |
|
Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock. |
|
Number forty-seven said to number three: |
|
"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. |
|
The sad sack was a 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 our 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... |
