Jailhouse Rock

Warden threw a party in the county jail

Prison band was there and they began to wail

The band was jumping and the joint began to swing

You should've heard those knocked out jailbirds sing!

Let's rock!

Oh baby, let's rock!

Everybody in the whole cell block

Was dancing to the jailhouse rock!

Spider Murphy on the tenor saxophone

Little Joe's a-blowin' on the slide trombone

The drummer boy from Illinois went crash boom bang

The whole rhythm section, what a purple gang!

Let's rock!

(Rock! Rock)

Oh, baby, let's rock

(Rock to the jail

Rock, Rock to the jail, rock!)

Everybody in the whole cell block

Will be dancing 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!

(Rock! Rock! Rock!)

Oh baby, let's rock!

(Rock in the jail

Rock, Rock in the jail, rock)

Everybody in the whole cell block

Will be dancing to the jailhouse rock!

Sad sack was sittin' on a block of stone

Way over in the corner, weeping' all alone

Warden said "Hey buddy don't you be no square!"

If you can't find a partner use a wooden chair!

(Let's rock!

Rock! Rock! Rock!)

Oh baby, let's rock!

(Rock!

Rock! Rock! Rock!)

Everybody in the whole cell block

Was dancing to the jailhouse rock!

(Rock!

Rock!

Rock!

Rock!

Rock! Rock!

Rock! Rock!)

A Prisoner whistles

Let's rock!

Oh baby, let's rock!

Everybody in the whole cell block

Will be dancing!

Will be dancing!

Dancing to the jailhouse

Dancing to the jailhouse

Dancing to the jailhouse rock!
