The warden threw a
party in the county jail
The prison band 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
Lets rock
Everybody lets 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 drummer boy from
illinois went crash boom bang
The whole rhythm
section was the purple gang
Lets rock
Everybody lets rock
Everybody on the whole
cell block
They was dancing to the
jailhouse rock
Well number 47 said to
number 3
Youre the cutest
jailbird I ever did see
I surell be delighted
with your company
Come on and do the
jailhouse rock with me
Lets rock
Everybody lets rock
Everybody on the whole
cell block
They were dancing to
the jailhouse rock
Lets rock!
Sad sack was sittin on
a block of stone
Way over in the corner
weepin all alone
The warden said hey
buddy dont you be no square
If you cant find a
partner use a wooden chair
Lets rock
Everybody lets 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.
