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 those knocked out jailbirds sing
 Lets rock, everybody, lets 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
 Lets rock, everybody, lets 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
 Lets rock, everybody, lets 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.
 Lets rock, everybody, lets rock
 Everybody in the whole cell block
 Was dancin to the jailhouse rock

 Shifty Henry said to bugs, for heavens sake
 No ones 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
 Lets rock, everybody, lets rock
 Everybody in the whole cell block
 Was dancin to the jailhouse rock
 Everybody in the whole cell block
 Was dancin to the jailhouse rock
 Everybody in the whole cell block
