The warden threw a party in the county jail |
|
The prisonband was there and they began to wail |
|
The joint was jumping and the place began to swing |
|
You should have heard those knocked out jailbirds sing |
|
Let's rock |
|
Everybody let's rock |
|
Everybody on the whole cell block |
|
They was dancing to the jailhouse rock |
|
Spider murphy played the tenor saxophone |
|
Little joe was blowin' on the slide trombone |
|
The drummerboy from illinois went crash boom bang |
|
The whole rhythm section was the purple gang |
|
Let's rock |
|
Everybody let's rock |
|
Everybody on the whole cell block |
|
They was dancing to the jailhouse rock |
|
Well number 47 said to number 3 |
|
You're the cutest jailbird i ever did see |
|
I sure'll be delighted with your company |
|
Come on and do the jailhouse rock with me |
|
Let's rock |
|
Everybody let's rock |
|
Everybody on the whole cell block |
|
They were dancing to the jailhouse rock |
|
Let's 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 on the whole cell block |
|
They was dancing to the jailhouse rock |
|
They were dancing to the jailhouse rock |
|
They was dancing to the jailhouse rock |
|
They was dancing to the jailhouse rock |
|
They was dancing to the jailhouse rock |
|
Everybody on the whole cell block |
|
They was dancing to the jailhouse rock |
|
They was dancing to, dancing to, dancing to, dancing to |
|
Dancing to the jailhouse rock |
|
Oh they was dancing to, dancing to, dancing to, dancing to |
|
Dancing to the jailhouse rock |
|
Everybody on the whole cell block |
|
They was dancing to the jailhouse rock |
|
