Jailhouse Rock
Elvis Presley
(INTRO)
Warden through 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 jail-birds sing.
Let's Rock!
Let's Rock!
Everybody in the whole cell block,
was a dancin' to the jailhouse rock!
Spider Murphy played the tenor saxophone.
Little Joe was blowin' on the slide trombone.
The drummer from Illinois went crash, boom bang!
The whole rhythm section was the purple gang.
Let's Rock!
Let's Rock!
Everybody in the whole cell block,
was a dancin' to the jailhouse rock!
Number Forty Seven said to number Three.
"You're the cutest little jailbird I ever did see.
I sure would be delighted with your company.
Come on and do the jailhouse rock with me."
Let's Rock!
Let's Rock!
Everybody in the whole cell block,
was a dancin' to the jailhouse rock!
The sad sack was sittin' on a block of stone,
Way over in the corner weeping all alone.
The warden said, "Hey buddy, don't you be no square,
If you can't find no partner use a wooden chair!"
Let's Rock!
Let's Rock!
Everybody in the whole cell block,
was a dancin' to the jailhouse rock!
Shifty Henry said to bugs, "For Heaven's sake,
No one's lookin', now's 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!
Let's Rock!
Everybody in the whole cell block,
was a dancin' to the jailhouse rock!
