Intro: |
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 them 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 |
Bridge: |
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 our chance |
To make a break" |
Bugsy turned to Shifty and |
He said, "Nix, nix |
I want to stick around |
A while and get my kicks" |
Bridge: |
x4 |
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 |
