Jailhouse Rock

Warden threw a party in the county jail

Prisonband was there and they began to wail

The joint was jumping and the place began to swing

You should have heard those knocked out jailbirds sing

Let's rock, everybody, let's rock

Everybody on the whole cell block

They was dancing 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 on the whole cell block

They was dancing to the jailhouse rock

Well, number 47 said to number 3

You're the cutest jailbird I ever did see

I sure'll be delighted with your company

Come on and do the jailhouse rock with me

Let's rock, everybody let's rock

Everybody on the whole cell block

They were dancing to the jailhouse rock

Let's rock

Sad Sack sittin' on a block of stone

Way over in the corner weepin' all alone

The warden said,
