1. 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
2. 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
3. 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., wverybody in the whole cell block
Was dancin` to the Jailhouse Rock
Instr.
4. 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
5. 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 wanna stick around a while and get my kicks
Let`s rock, everybody, let`s rock, everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancin` to the Jailhouse Rock
Schluss Dancin` to the Jailhouse Rock
