Lyrics
Well, the warden threw a party in the county jail
The prison band, my dad, they began to wail
The door began to open and the band began to swing
You should've heard them knock that jail full swing
Well, let's rock
Everybody, let's rock
Yeah, everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock
Well, the fiddle man was playin' and the saxophone
The sax man was blowin' on his slide trombone
The drummer boy from Illinois went crash, boom, bam
All the ladies kept a-movin' up and down
Well, let's rock
Everybody, let's rock
Well, everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock
Well, now, number forty-seven said to number three
"You gotta get out of jail, but if I ever did see you
So be delighted if you bother me
Come on and do the Jailhouse Rock with me"
Well, let's rock
Everybody, let's rock
Oh yeah, come on, everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock
Well, now, sad sack sittin' on a block of stone
Over in the corner weepin' all alone
The warden said, "Hey, buddy, don't you be no square
If you care to fight about it, use a wooden chair"
Well, let's rock
Everybody, let's rock
Uh-huh, everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock
Well, now, gypsy Henry said, "Now for Heaven's sake
Why don't you get out and make a break?"
The buster turned to shifty and he said, "Nix nix
I'm gonna stick around, I wanna get in some kicks"
Well, let's rock
Everybody, let's rock
Uh-huh, everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock
They were dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock
They were dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock
Shakin' to the Jailhouse Rock
Well, they was movin' and a-groovin' to the Jailhouse Rock
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock
