Top 10: Rock / Britsh Medley Lyrics - Singles - Theresa Sokyrka

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 from the purple gang. 

Let's rock, oh little baby, 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 

I don't know what is it is that makes me love you so 

I only know I never wanna let you go 

'Cause you started something, can't you see 

That ever since we met you've had a hold on me 

No matter what you do, I only wanna be with you 

You stopped to smile at me 

And asked if I cared to dance 

I fell into your open arms 

And I didn't stand a change 

Now listen honey 

I just wanna be beside you everywhere 

As long as we're together honey, I don't care 

'Cause you started something, can't you see 

That ever since we met you've got a hold on me 

No matter what you do I only wanna be with you 

Tempted by the fruit of another 

Tempted but the truth is discovered 

I bought a toothbrush, some toothpaste, a flannel for my face 

Pajamas, a hairbrush, new shoes and a case. 

I said to my reflection, Let's get out of this place. 

Tempted by the fruit of another 

Tempted but the truth is discovered 

What's been going on 

Now that you have gone 

There's no other 

Tempted by the fruit of another 

Tempted but the truth is discovered 

Pressure pushing down on me 

Pressing down on you no man ask for 

Under pressure 

That burns a building down 

Splits a family in two 

Puts people on streets 

Turned away from it all 

Like a blind man 

Sat on a fence but it don't work 

Keep coming up with love 

But it's so slashed and torn 

Why why why why why? 

Love Love Love Love Love 

Insanity laughs under pressure we're cracking 

Can't we give ourselves one more chance? 

Why can't we give love one more chance? 

Why can't we give love give love give love? 

Give love give love give love give love give love? 

Cause love's such an old fashioned word 

And love dares you to care 

For the people on the edge of the light 

And love dares you to change our way 

Of caring about ourselves 

This is our last dance 

This is ourselves under pressure 

Under pressure 

Now there was a time 

When they used to say 

That behind every great man 

There had to be a great woman. 

Oh, in these times of change 

You know that it's no longer true. 

So we're coming out of the kitchen 

'cause theres something we forgot to say to you. 

Sisters are doing it for themselves. 

Yeah 

Now this is a song to celebrate 

The conscious liberation of the female state. 

We've got doctors, lawyers politicians too 

Oh yeah 

Everybody take a look around. 

Can't you see, can't you see, can't you see? 

Theres a woman right next to you. 

Whoa yeah! 

Sisters are doing it for themselves. 

Standing on their own two feet. 

Ringing on their own bells 

Sisters are doing it for themselves 

Deep down in Louisiana close to New Orleans 

Way back up in the woods among the evergreens 

Stood a log cabin made of earth and wood 

Lived a country boy named Johnny B. Good 

Who never ever learned to read or write so well 

But he could play the guitar just like a ring in a bell 

Go, go, go Johnny go, go, go Johnny, go go 

Go Johnny go, go, go Johnny go go 

Johnny B. Good
