Jailhouse Rock

The warden threw a party in the county jail

The prison band was there and they began to wail

The band began to jumping, they began to swing

You should have heard the knockdown jailbird sing

Let's rock

Have a party, let's rock

Everybody in the whole cell block

Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock

Number 47 said to number three

"You're the cutest jailbird I ever did see

I sure would be delighted with your company

So come on and do the Jailhouse Rock with me"

Let's rock

Have a party, let's rock

Everybody in the whole cell block

Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock, yeah

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

Have a party, let's rock

Everybody in the whole cell block

Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock, now listen

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

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

Everybody in the whole cell block was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock

Everybody in the whole cell block was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock

C'mon, babe

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

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

Everybody in the whole cell block was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock
