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

those knocked out

jailbirds sing

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

Let's rock

Everybody let's rock

Everybody in the whole

cell block

was dancin to the

Jailhouse Rock

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

Everybody in the whole

cell block

was dancin to the

Jailhouse Rock

The sad sack was a

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

Shifty Henry

said to Bugs

For Heaven's sake

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

Jailhouse Rock
