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 from the purple gang.
|
|
Let's rock, oh little baby, 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
|
|
I don't know what is it is that makes me love you so
|
I only know I never wanna let you go
|
'Cause you started something, can't you see
|
That ever since we met you've had a hold on me
|
No matter what you do, I only wanna be with you
|
|
You stopped to smile at me
|
And asked if I cared to dance
|
I fell into your open arms
|
And I didn't stand a change
|
Now listen honey
|
|
I just wanna be beside you everywhere
|
As long as we're together honey, I don't care
|
'Cause you started something, can't you see
|
That ever since we met you've got a hold on me
|
No matter what you do I only wanna be with you
|
|
Tempted by the fruit of another
|
Tempted but the truth is discovered
|
I bought a toothbrush, some toothpaste, a flannel for my face
|
Pajamas, a hairbrush, new shoes and a case.
|
I said to my reflection, Let's get out of this place.
|
|
Tempted by the fruit of another
|
Tempted but the truth is discovered
|
What's been going on
|
Now that you have gone
|
There's no other
|
Tempted by the fruit of another
|
Tempted but the truth is discovered
|
|
Pressure pushing down on me
|
Pressing down on you no man ask for
|
Under pressure
|
That burns a building down
|
Splits a family in two
|
Puts people on streets
|
|
Turned away from it all
|
Like a blind man
|
Sat on a fence but it don't work
|
Keep coming up with love
|
But it's so slashed and torn
|
Why why why why why?
|
Love Love Love Love Love
|
|
Insanity laughs under pressure we're cracking
|
Can't we give ourselves one more chance?
|
Why can't we give love one more chance?
|
Why can't we give love give love give love?
|
Give love give love give love give love give love?
|
Cause love's such an old fashioned word
|
And love dares you to care
|
For the people on the edge of the light
|
And love dares you to change our way
|
Of caring about ourselves
|
This is our last dance
|
This is ourselves under pressure
|
Under pressure
|
|
Now there was a time
|
When they used to say
|
That behind every great man
|
There had to be a great woman.
|
|
Oh, in these times of change
|
You know that it's no longer true.
|
So we're coming out of the kitchen
|
'cause theres something we forgot to say to you.
|
|
Sisters are doing it for themselves.
|
Yeah
|
|
Now this is a song to celebrate
|
The conscious liberation of the female state.
|
We've got doctors, lawyers politicians too
|
Oh yeah
|
Everybody take a look around.
|
Can't you see, can't you see, can't you see?
|
Theres a woman right next to you.
|
Whoa yeah!
|
|
Sisters are doing it for themselves.
|
Standing on their own two feet.
|
Ringing on their own bells
|
Sisters are doing it for themselves
|
|
Deep down in Louisiana close to New Orleans
|
Way back up in the woods among the evergreens
|
Stood a log cabin made of earth and wood
|
Lived a country boy named Johnny B. Good
|
Who never ever learned to read or write so well
|
But he could play the guitar just like a ring in a bell
|
|
Go, go, go Johnny go, go, go Johnny, go go
|
Go Johnny go, go, go Johnny go go
|
Johnny B. Good
