Jailhouse Rock

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Well, the warden threw a party at the county jail The prison band was there and they began to wail The band was jumpin' down, they began to swing You should've heard those jailbirds sing [Chorus] Let's rock, everybody, let's rock Everybody in the whole cell block Was dancin' to the jailhouse rock [Verse 2] Well, Spider Murphy played on the saxophone Little Joe was blowin' on the slide trombone The drummer boy from LA goin' crash, boom, bang The whole rhythm section was the Purple Gang [Chorus] Well, let's rock, everybody, let's rock Everybody in the whole cell block Was dancin' to the jailhouse rock [Verse 3] Well, number forty-seven said to number three "You're the cutest jailbird I ever did see I sure could enjoy some of your company Come on and do the jailhouse rock with me" [Chorus] Let's rock, everybody, let's rock Everybody in the whole cell block Was dancin' to the jailhouse rock (Guitar) [Verse 4] Well, sad sack was sittin' on a block of stone Way over in the corner weepin' all alone The warden said, "Buddy, don't you be no square If you can't find a partner, use a wooden chair" [Chorus] Let's rock, everybody, let's rock Everybody in the whole cell block Was dancin' to the jailhouse rock [Verse 5] Well, Henry said to Bugs, "For heaven's sake No one's lookin', now's our chance to make a break" Bugs turned to Shifty, said, "Nix, nix, nix I wanna stick around a while and get my kicks" [Chorus] Let's rock, everybody, let's rock Everybody in the whole cell block Was dancin' to the jailhouse rock (Oh) [Outro] Dancin' to the jailhouse rock
