Going to a party in the county jail
Hear the bell was ringing, then it began to wail
Begin to shake and it began to sink
Soon I heard a knocked out German sing, "Let's rock"
Everybody let's rock
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancing to the jailhouse rock
Spotty mother sitting on a block of stone
Little Joey blowing on his slide trombone
Mama said, "Silly Willy, don't you be no square?"
Can't find a party, use a wooden chair
Everybody let's rock
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancing to the jailhouse rock
Silly Herman Simon said, "For heaven's sake"
Go on and look at now it's time to make a break
But the county shifty Eddie said, "Nick's next"
Gonna stick around 'til the day I get my get
Everybody let's rock
Everybody in the whole cell block
Dancing to the jailhouse rock
Everybody in the whole cell block
Hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey
Everybody in the whole cell block
Dancing to the jailhouse rock
