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
|
|
|
Dancing to the jailhouse rock...
