Jailhouse Rock

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

Refrain:

Let's rock everybody, let's rock

Everybody in the whole cell block

Was dancin' 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

(Refrain)

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"

(Refrain)

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"

(Refrain)

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"

(Refrain)

Dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock(5x)
