The warden threw a party in the county jail
The prison band was there and they began to wail
The band was jumping and the joint began to swing
You should've heard that knocked out jailbird sing
Let's rock
Everybody, let's rock
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancing to the Jailhouse Rock
Spider Murphy played the tenor saxophone
Little Joe was blowing on the slide trombone
The drummer boy was blowing on the 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 dancing to the Jailhouse Rock
Now, number 47 said to number three
"Aren't you the cutest jailbird I ever did see
I surely should delight in your company"
She said: "Come on and do the Jailhouse Rock with me"
Let's rock now
Everybody, let's rock
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancing to the Jailhouse Rock
Sad Sack was sitting and all getting stoned
Trying to jimmy in a hole burying a bone
The warden said "Everybody who didn't cut your hair
If they can't find a partner then they get the chair"
Let's rock
Everybody, let's rock
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancing to the Jailhouse Rock
Shifty Henry said to Bugs, "For Heaven's sake
No one's looking, now's the time to make a break"
Bugsy turned to Shifty and he said, "Nix nix
I wanna stick around until i get my fix"
Let's rock
Everybody, let's rock
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancing to the Jailhouse Rock
Rock, rock, rock, rock
