Jailhouse Rock
The warden threw a party in the county jail
The 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, everybody, let's rock
Everybody in the whole cell block
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 in the
whole cell block
Was
dancing 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 dancing to the Jailhouse 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 in the
whole cell block
Was
dancing to the Jailhouse Rock
Shifty Henry said to Bugs,
"For Heaven's sake
No
one's looking, 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."
Let's rock, everybody, let's rock
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancing to the Jailhouse Rock
