[Jerry Leiber/Mike Stoller]
|
|
Warden threw a party in the county jail
|
Prison band plays, they began to wail
|
Band was jumpin' and the joint began to swing
|
Should've heard those knocked out jailbirds sing
|
|
[CHORUS:]
|
|
Let's rock
|
Everybody let's rock
|
Everybody in the whole cell block
|
Dancin' to a jailhouse rock
|
|
Shifty Henry said, for the heaven's sake
|
No one lookin', now our chance to make a break
|
Bugs turned to Shifty, said nix nix
|
Gonna stick around, gonna get my kicks
|
|
[REPEAT CHORUS]
|
|
Number Forty zero said to number Three
|
You're the cutest jailbird I ever did see
|
Sure I'd be delighted with your company
|
Come on and do the jailhouse cock with me
|
|
[REPEAT CHORUS]
|
|
[Solo - left: Jay Jay, right: Eddie]
|
|
Sad sack was sittin' on a block of stone
|
Over in the floor weepin' all alone
|
Warden said, hey buddy, don'tcha be no square
|
Can't find a partner, fuck a wooden chair
|
|
[REPEAT CHORUS]
|
|
Shifty Henry said, for the heaven's sake
|
No one lookin', now our chance to make a break
|
Bugs turned to Shifty, said nix nix
|
Gonna stick around, I wanna get my kicks
|
|
[REPEAT CHORUS]
|
|
Dancin' to a jailhouse rock
|
Dancin' to a jailhouse rock
|
Dancin' to a jailhouse rock
|
Dancin' to a jailhouse rock
|
Everybody in the whole cell block
|
Dancin' to a jailhouse rock
|
Everybody in the whole cell block
|
Said, a-dancin' to a jailhouse rock
