Jailhouse Rock |
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 those knocked out jailbirds sing. |
Let's rock, everybody, let's rock. |
Everybody in the whole cell block |
Was dancin' to the jailhouse rock. |
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. |
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 dancin' to the jailhouse rock. |
The sad sack was a 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. |
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. |
