jailhouse rock
adriano celentano
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
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
the whole rhythm section was the purple gang
everybody in the whole cell block
was dancin' to the jailhouse rock
number forty-seven said to number three
you're the cutest jailbird i ever did see
i sure would be delighted with your company
come on and do the jailhouse rock with me
everybody in the whole cell block
was dancin' to the jailhouse rock
the sad sack was a sittin' on a block of stone
way over in the corner weepin' all alone
if you cant find a partner use a wooden chair
everybody in the whole cell block
was dancin' to the jailhouse rock
shifty henry said to bugs
now's our chance to make a break
bugsy turned to shifty and he said
i wanna stick around a while and get my kicks
everybody in the whole cell block
was dancin' to the jailhouse rock
