Jailhouse Rock Lyrics - Elvis Presley

The warden threw a party in the county jail 

The prison band was there and they began to wail 

The band was jumpin' and the joint began to swing 

You should've heard those knocked out jailbirds sing 

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 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 in the whole cell block 

Was dancing to the jailhouse rock

Number forty-seven said to number three 

you 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 

Rock, rock, r... 

Sad Sack was a 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 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 to Bugs,"For heaven's sake 

No one's looking, now's our chance to make a break" 

Bugsy turned to shifty and he said,"Nix nix I wanna stick around a while and get my kicks"
