jailhouse rock

the warden threw a party in the county jail

the prison band was there and they began to wail

the joint was jumpin' and the band began to swing

you should've heard those knocked out jailbirds sing

let's rock

everybody

let's rock

everybody on 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 the purple gang

number forty-seven said to number three

you're the cutest jailbird i ever did see
