Jailhouse Rock

Warden threw a party in the county jail

Prison band was there and they began to wail

The joint was jumping and the band began to swing

You should've heard those knocked out jailbirds sing

Let's rock, everybody, let's rock

Everybody on the whole cell block

They was dancing to the jailhouse rock

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

Let's rock, everybody, let's rock

Everybody on the whole cell block

They was dancing to the jailhouse rock

Well, 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 on the whole cell block

They was dancing to the jailhouse rock

Let's rock

The sad sack was a 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"

Let's rock, everybody, let's rock

Everybody on the whole cell block

They was dancing to the jailhouse rock

They was dancing to the jailhouse rock

They was dancing to the jailhouse rock

They was dancing to the jailhouse rock

They was dancing to the jailhouse rock

Everybody on the whole cell block

They was dancing to the jailhouse rock

They was dancing, dancing, dancing, dancing, dancing to the jailhouse rock

Oh, they was dancing, dancing, dancing, dancing, dancing to the jailhouse rock

Everybody on the whole cell block

They was dancing to the jailhouse rock

They was dancing to the jailhouse rock

They was dancing to the jailhouse rock

They was dancing to the jailhouse rock

They was dancing to the jailhouse rock

Everybody on the whole cell block

They was dancing to the jailhouse rock, rock
