| Lyrics: | 1. The warden threw a party in the county jail
The prison band was there and they began to
wail
The band was jumpin' and the joint began to swing
You should've heard them knocked out
jailbirds sing
Let's rock, everybody, let's rock, everybody in the whole cell block
Was
dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock
2. 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 in the
whole cell block
Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock
3. Number forty-seven said to number
three
You're the cutest jailbird I ever did see
I sure would be delighted with your
company
Come on and do the Jailhouse Rock with me
Let's rock, everybody, let's rock.,
wverybody in the whole cell block
Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock
Instr.
4.
Sad sack was sittin' on a block of stone
Way over in the corner weepin' all alone.
The
warden said Hey, buddy, don't you be no square
If you can't find a partner use a wooden
chair
Let's rock, everybody, let's rock, everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancin' to
the Jailhouse Rock
5. Shifty Henry said to Bugs For Heaven's sake
No one's lookin',
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
Let's rock, everybody, let's rock, everybody in the whole cell
block
Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock
Schluss Dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock |
