Jailhouse Rock

Warden threw a party in the county jail

Prison band plays, they began to wail

Band was jumpin' and the joint began to swing

Should've heard those knocked out jailbirds sing

Let's rock

Everybody let's rock

Everybody in the whole cell block

Dancin' to a jailhouse rock

Shifty Henry said, for the heaven's sake

No one lookin', now our chance to make a break

Bugs turned to Shifty, said nix nix

Gonna stick around, gonna get my kicks

Let's rock

Everybody let's rock

Everybody in the whole cell block

Dancin' to a jailhouse rock

Number Forty zero said to number Three

You're the cutest jailbird I ever did see

Sure I'd be delighted with your company

Come on and do the jailhouse cock with me

Let's rock

Everybody let's rock

Everybody in the whole cell block

Dancin' to a jailhouse rock

Sad sack was sittin' on a block of stone

Over in the floor weepin' all alone

Warden said, hey buddy, don'tcha be no square

Can't find a partner, f**k a wooden chair

Let's rock

Everybody let's rock

Everybody in the whole cell block

Dancin' to a jailhouse rock

Shifty Henry said, for the heaven's sake

No one lookin', now our chance to make a break

Bugs turned to Shifty, said nix nix

Gonna stick around, I wanna get my kicks

Let's rock

Everybody let's rock

Everybody in the whole cell block

Dancin' to a jailhouse rock

Dancin' to a jailhouse rock

Dancin' to a jailhouse rock

Dancin' to a jailhouse rock

Dancin' to a jailhouse rock

Everybody in the whole cell block

Dancin' to a jailhouse rock

Everybody in the whole cell block

Said, a-dancin' to a jailhouse rock
