The warden threw a party in the county jail
The prison band was there and they began to wail
The band [?] jumpin' and the joint began to swing
You should've heard them knocked-out jailbirds sing
Let's rock, let's rock
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock
Spider Murphy on the tenor saxophone
Little Joe was blowin' on the slide trombone
The drummer boy 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'm sure he delighted company
Come on and do the Jailhouse Rock with me
Let's rock, let's rock
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock
Sad sack was sittin' on a stone
Way over corner weepin' all alone
The warden hey buddy no square
If you find a partner, wooden chair
Let's rock, let's rock
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock
Shifty Henry to the 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
Let's rock, let's rock
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock
Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock
Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock
Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock
Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock
Was dancin' to the
