Lyrics

[Intro: Jailhouse Rock Chorus Guest #1, Jailhouse Rock Chorus Guest #2, Jailhouse Rock Chorus] Hey, let's get out of here! Hey, pick up that rhythm! One-two, one-two-two One-two, one-two-two One-two, one-two-two [Verse 1: Vince Everett (Elvis Presley)] The warden threw a party in the county jail The prison band was there, they began to wail The band was jumping, and the joint began to swing You shoulda heard those locked-out jailbirds sing [Chorus: Vince Everett (Elvis Presley)] Let's rock, everybody, let's rock Everybody in the whole cell block Was dancing to the Jailhouse Rock [Verse 2: Vince Everett (Elvis Presley)] 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 [Chorus: Vince Everett (Elvis Presley)] Let's rock, everybody, let's rock Everybody in the whole cell block Was dancing to the Jailhouse Rock [Verse 3: Vince Everett (Elvis Presley)] Number forty-seven said to number three "You the cutest jailbird I ever did see I sure would be delighted with your company Come on and do the Jailhouse Rock with me" [Chorus: Vince Everett (Elvis Presley), Jailhouse Rock Chorus] Let's rock, (Go! Go! Go!) everybody, let's rock (Lay it on me, Daddy-O!) Everybody in the whole cell block Was dancing to the Jailhouse Rock Rock, rock, rock [Interlude: Jailhouse Rock Chorus] Rock, rock! Rock, rock! Rock to the Jailhouse Rock! Rock, rock! Rock, rock! Rock to the Jailhouse Rock! [Verse 4: Vince Everett (Elvis Presley)] Sad Sack was 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 You can't find a partner, use a wooden chair" [Chorus: Vince Everett (Elvis Presley), Jailhouse Rock Chorus] Let's rock, (Arrrgh! Rock, rock!) everybody, let's rock (Rock, rock!) Everybody in the whole cell block Was dancing to the Jailhouse Rock [Verse 5: Vince Everett (Elvis Presley)] 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 wanna stick around a while and get my kicks." [Chorus: Vince Everett (Elvis Presley), Jailhouse Rock Chorus] Let's rock, (Arrrgh! Rrrrrrrock!) everybody, let's rock (Rrrrrrrock!) Everybody in the whole cell block Was dancing to the Jailhouse Rock [Post-Chorus: Vince Everett (Elvis Presley), Jailhouse Rock Chorus] Dancing to the Jailhouse Rock (Rock, rock, rock!) Dancing to the Jailhouse Rock (Rock, rock, rock!) Dancing to the Jailhouse Rock (Rock, rock, rock!) Dancing to the Jailhouse Rock (Rock, rock, rock!) Dancing to the Jailhouse Rock (Rock, rock, rock!) Dancing to the Jailhouse Rock (Rock, rock, rock!) Dancing to the Jailhouse Rock (Rock, rock, rock!) Dancing to the Jailhouse Rock (Rock, rock, rock!) [Outro] (The song transitions to an instrumental ending piece combined with a short machine gun sound effect in the middle)
