Jailhouse Rock

Lyrics

[Verse 1] The warden threw a party in the county jail The prison band was there, and they began to wail The band began to jumping, they began to swing You should have heard the knockdown jailbird sing [Chorus] Let's rock, everybody let's rock Oh everybody in the whole cell block Was dancing to the jailhouse rock [Verse 2] Number 47 said to number three You're the cutest jailbird I ever did see I sure would be delighted with your company So come and do the jailhouse rock with me [Chorus] Let's rock, have a party, let's rock Oh everybody in the whole cell block Was dancing to the jailhouse rock, yeah! [Guitar and Piano Solos] [Verse 3] Spider Murphy played on the tenor saxophone Little Joe was blowin' on a slide trombone Drummer boy from Illinois was crash-a-bam boomin' The whole rhythm section was the Purple Gang [Chorus] Let's rock, everybody let's rock Everybody in the whole cell block Was dancing to the jailhouse rock [Post-Chorus] Listen Dancing to the jailhouse rock Dancing to the jailhouse rock Dancing to the jailhouse rock Dancing to the jailhouse rock Everybody in the whole cell block Was dancing to the jailhouse rock, yeah! Everybody in the whole cell block Dancing to the jailhouse rock [Instrumental Break] C'mon [Outro] Dancing to the jailhouse rock Dancing to the jailhouse rock Dancing to the jailhouse rock Dancing to the jailhouse rock Everybody in the whole cell block Was dancing to the jailhouse
