Jailhouse Rock

Lyrics

[CHAD] Warden threw a party in the county jail 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! Oh baby, let's rock! Everybody in the whole cell block Was dancing to the jailhouse rock! Spider Murphy on the tenor saxophone Little Joe's a-blowin' on the slide trombone The drummer boy from Illinois went crash boom bang The whole rhythm section, what a purple gang! [CHAD, (ENSEMBLE)] Let's rock! (Rock! Rock) Oh, baby, let's rock (Rock to the jail Rock, Rock to the jail, rock!) Everybody in the whole cell block Will be dancing to the jailhouse rock! [CHAD] Number 47 said to Number 3 [NUMBER 47] You're the cutest jailbird I ever did see [NUMBER 3] I sure would be delighted with your company! [NUMBER 47 and NUMBER 3] Come on and do the jailhouse rock with me! [CHAD, (ENSEMBLE)] Let's rock! (Rock! Rock! Rock!) Oh baby, let's rock! (Rock in the jail Rock, Rock in the jail, rock) Everybody in the whole cell block Will be dancing to the jailhouse rock! [ENSEMBLE] Sad sack was sittin' on a block of stone Way over in the corner, weeping' all alone Warden said "Hey buddy don't you be no square!" [CHAD] If you can't find a partner use a wooden chair! [CHAD, (ENSEMBLE)] (Let's rock! Rock! Rock! Rock!) Oh baby, let's rock! (Rock! Rock! Rock! Rock!) Everybody in the whole cell block [ENSEMBLE] Was dancing to the jailhouse rock! [DANCE BREAK] (Rock! Rock! Rock! Rock! Rock! Rock! Rock! Rock!) A Prisoner whistles [ENSEMBLE] Let's rock! Oh baby, let's rock! Everybody in the whole cell block Will be dancing! Will be dancing! Dancing to the jailhouse Dancing to the jailhouse Dancing to the jailhouse rock!
