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
 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 a purple gang
 Let's rock
 Everybody, let's rock
 Everybody in the whole cell block
 Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock
 Number 47 said to number 3
 "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, Rock, Rock
 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
 Shifty Henry said to Bugs, "For Heaven's sake
 No one's lookin', now's the 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
 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, dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock
 Dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock
