Lyrics

[00:07.61] The warden threw a party in the county jail.
[00:10.10] The prison band was there and they began to wail.
[00:12.97] The band was jumpin' and the joint began to swing.
[00:15.67] You should've heard those knocked out jailbirds sing.
[00:18.61] Let's rock, everybody, let's rock.
[00:22.57]
[00:24.06] Everybody in the whole cell block
[00:26.50]
[00:27.18] Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock.
[00:29.18]
[00:30.12] Spider Murphy played the tenor saxophone,
[00:33.18] Little Joe was blowin' on the slide trombone.
[00:35.93] The drummer boy from Illinois went crash, boom, bang,
[00:39.14] The whole rhythm section was the Purple Gang.
[00:41.25] Let's rock, everybody, let's rock.
[00:45.01]
[00:47.06] Everybody in the whole cell block
[00:49.17]
[00:50.11] Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock.
[00:52.10]
[00:53.16] Number forty-seven said to number three:
[00:55.91] "You're the cutest jailbird I ever did see.
[00:58.72] I sure would be delighted with yourpany,
[01:01.34] Come on and do the Jailhouse Rock with me."
[01:04.22] Let's rock, everybody, let's rock.
[01:07.64]
[01:08.83] Everybody in the whole cell block
[01:11.83]
[01:12.76] Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock.
[01:15.83]
[01:27.20] The sad sack was a sittin' on a block of stone
[01:30.01] Way over in the corner weepin' all alone.
[01:32.50] The warden said, "Hey, buddy, don't you be no square.
[01:35.62] If you can't find a partner use a wooden chair."
[01:38.31] Let's rock, everybody, let's rock.
[01:41.67]
[01:43.24] Everybody in the whole cell block
[01:45.98]
[01:46.85] Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock.
[01:48.85]
[01:49.91] Shifty Henry said to Bugs, "For Heaven's sake,
[01:52.53] No one's lookin', now's our chance to make a break."
[01:55.35] Bugsy turned to Shifty and he said, "Nix nix,
[01:58.28] I wanna stick around a while and get my kicks."
[02:00.90] Let's rock, everybody, let's rock.
[02:04.40]
[02:06.65] Everybody in the whole cell block
[02:08.83]
[02:09.72] Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock.
[02:11.65]
[02:12.70] Dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock...
