jailhouse rock

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 was a purple gang

let's rock

everybody

let's rock

everybody in the whole cell block

was dancin' to the jailhouse rock

number 47 said to number 3

you're the cutest jailbird i ever did see
