JAILHOUSE ROCK

The warden threw a party in the country jail The prison band was there and they began to wail The band was jumping and the joint began to swing You should have heard the knock down jailbird sin 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 Joey blowin' on a slide trombone Drummer boy from Illinois went 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 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 Let's rock, everybody let's rock Everybody in the whole cell block Was dancing to the jailhouse rock Sad Sack was sitting on a black of stone But over in the cornet weepin' all alone Come on city 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 dancing to the jailhouse rock Shifty Henry said you bugs for heaven's sake The warden looking now just to make a break Warden turned to Shifty and he said nitch nix I want stick around a while and get my kicks Let's rock, everybody let's rock Everybody in the whole cell block Was dancing to the jailhouse rock Dancing to the jeilhouse rock Dancing to the jeilhouse rock...
