Warden threw a party in the county jail Prison band was there and they began to wail Band starting jumpin', joint began to swing Should've heard the knocked out jailbirds sing Let's rock, everybody let's rock Yes, everybody in the whole cell block Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock Well, Spider Murphy played on the saxophone Little Joe was blowin' on the slide trombone Drummer boy from Illinois went crash, boom, bang Whole rhythm section was the Purple Gang Let's rock, everybody let's rock Yes, everybody in the whole cell block Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock Well, number forty seven said to number three "You're the cutest jailbird I ever did see Sure'd 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 dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock Well, a sad sack was a sittin' on a block of stone Over in the corner weepin' all alone The warden said, "Hey, buddy, don't you be no square Can't find a partner use a wooden chair" Let's rock, everybody let's rock Well, everybody in the whole cell block Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock Well, shifty Henry said to Bugs, "For goodness' sake Warden's not lookin', man let's make a break" Bugsy looked at Henry and he said, "Nix nix Gotta stick around a while and get my kicks" Let's rock, everybody let's rock Well, everybody in the whole cell block Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock Bopin' to the Jailhouse Rock Rockin' to the Jailhouse Rock
