Jailhouse Rock Lyrics - Beck-ola - Jeff Beck Group

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 dancin' 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 a purple gang 

Let's rock 

Everybody, let's rock 

Everybody in the whole cell block 

Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock 

Number 47 said to number 3 

"You're 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 dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock, Rock, Rock 

Sad Sack was 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 dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock 

Shifty Henry said to Bugs, "For Heaven's sake 

No one's lookin', now's the chance to make a break" 

Bugsy turned to Shifty and he said, "Nix nix 

I wanna stick around a while and get my kicks" 

Let's rock 

Everybody, let's rock 

Everybody in the whole cell block 

Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock 

Dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock, dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock 

Dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock, dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock 

Dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock, dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock 

Dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock
