Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The warden threw a party in the county jail
Prison band was there and they began to wail
The band was jumping and this joint began to swing
You should've heard them knocked out jailbirds sing
[Verse 2]
Let's rock, everybody, let's rock
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancing to the jailhouse rock
[Verse 3]
Spider Murphy played the tenor saxophone
Little Joe was blowing on the slide trombone
The drummer boy from Illinois went crash, boom, bang
The whole rhythm section was the Purple Gang
[Verse 4]
Let's rock, everybody, let's rock
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancing to the jailhouse rock
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
Let's rock, everybody, let's rock
Ooh, everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancing to the jailhouse rock
[Verse 7]
Sad sack was sitting on a block of stone
Way over in the corner weeping all alone
The warden said, "Hey, buddy, don't you be no square"
If you can't find a partner use a wooden chair
[Verse 8]
Let's rock, everybody, let's rock
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancing to the jailhouse rock
[Verse 9]
Shifty Henry said to Bugs, "For Heaven sake"
No one's looking, 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
[Verse 10]
Let's rock, everybody, let's rock
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancing to the jailhouse rock
[Verse 11]
Dancing to the jailhouse rock
Dancing to the jailhouse rock
Dancing to the jailhouse rock
Dancing to the jailhouse rock
