The warden threw 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 everbody
| Let's rock
| everybody in
| The whole cell block
| was a dancin'
| To the jailhouse rock
| Spider Murphy played
| The tenor saxophone
| little joe was blowin'
| On the slide trombon
| 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 a 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 you company
| come on and
| Do the jailhouse rock
| with me
| let's rock everybody
| let's rock
| Everybody
| in the whole
| Cell block
| was a 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 puddy
| 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 a dancin'
| to the jailhouse rock
| Shifty henry said to
| bugs for heaven's sake
| No one's lookin'
| now's change
| 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 a 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~
