Jailhouse Rock Lyrics

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
