Lyrics

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 Dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock
