Lyrics

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
 Shifty Henry said to Bugs,"For heaven's sake
 No one's lookin', now let's 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
 Dancin' to the jailhouse rock
 Dancin' to the jailhouse rock
 ♪
 Dancin' to the jailhouse rock
 
 Dancin' to the jailhouse rock
 And they were dancing rock
 They were dancing
 They were dancing to the jailhouse rock
 Oh right!
