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!
~~~~~< Instrumental >~~~~~~~~~~~~~
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 want to 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!
