Jailhouse Rock Lyrics - The Blues Brothers - Blues Brothers

Warden threw a party in the county jail 

Prisonband was there and they began to wail 

The joint was jumping and the place began to swing 

You should have heard those knocked out jailbirds sing 

Let's rock, everybody, let's rock 

Everybody on the whole cell block 

They was dancing to the jailhouse rock 

Spider Murphy played the tenor saxophone 

Little Joe was blowin' on the slide trombone 

The drummer boy from Illinois went crash boom bang 

The whole rhythm section was the purple gang 

Let's rock, everybody, let's rock 

Everybody on the whole cell block 

They was dancing to the jailhouse rock 

Well, number 47 said to number 3 

You're the cutest jailbird I ever did see 

I sure'll be delighted with your company 

Come on and do the jailhouse rock with me 

Let's rock, everybody let's rock 

Everybody on the whole cell block 

They were dancing to the jailhouse rock 

Let's rock 

(Instrumental) 

Sad Sack sittin' on a block of stone 

Way 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 

Everybody on the whole cell block 

They was dancing to the jailhouse rock 

They were dancing to the jailhouse rock 

They was dancing to the jailhouse rock 

They was dancing to the jailhouse rock 

They was dancing to the jailhouse rock 

Everybody on the whole cell block 

They was dancing to the jailhouse rock 

They was dancing to, dancing to, dancing to, dancing to 

Dancing to the jailhouse rock 

Oh, they was dancing, dancing, dancing, dancing 

Dancing to the jailhouse rock 

Everybody on the whole cell block 

They was dancing to the jailhouse rock 

Jailhouse rock, they was dancin' to the jailhouse rock 

They was dancin' to the jailhouse rock 

They was dancin' to the jailhouse rock 

Everybody on the whole cell block 

They was dancing to the jailhouse rock
