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 the purple gang
Let's rock, everybody, let's rock
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
Lets rock, everybody, lets rock
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
The warden said, hey, buddy, don't you be no square
If you can't find a partner use a wooden chair
Let's rock, everybody, let's rock
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancin' to the jailhouse rock
Shifty Henry said to bugs, for heavens sake
No ones lookin', nows our chance to make a break
Bugsy turned to shifty and he said, nix, nix
I wanna stick around a while and get my kicks
Let's rock, everybody, let's rock
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancin' to the jailhouse rock
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 the purple gang Let's rock, everybody, let's rock 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 Lets rock, everybody, lets rock 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 The warden said, hey, buddy, don't you be no square If you can't find a partner use a wooden chair Let's rock, everybody, let's rock Everybody in the whole cell block Was dancin' to the jailhouse rock Shifty Henry said to bugs, for heavens sake No ones lookin', nows our chance to make a break Bugsy turned to shifty and he said, nix, nix I wanna stick around a while and get my kicks Let's rock, everybody, let's rock Everybody in the whole cell block Was dancin' to the jailhouse rock Explain Request ×
