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 jail birds sing
Let's rock
 Ev'rybody let's rock
 Ev'rybody 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
the purple gang
Let's rock
 Ev'rybody let's rock
 Ev'rybody in the whole
cell block
 Was dancin'
to the Jailhouse Rock
 Number Forty-seven said
to Number Three
 You're the cutest jail
bird I ever did see
 I sure would be delighted
with your company
 Come on and do
the Jailhouse Rock with me
Let's rock
 Ev'rybody let's rock
 Ev'rybody in the whole
cell block
 Was dancin'
to the Jailhouse Rock
  
The sad sack was a sittin'
on a block of stone
 Way over in the corner
weeping 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
 Ev'rybody let's rock
 Ev'rybody 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 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
Let's rock
 Ev'rybody let's rock
 Ev'rybody 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...[start]../song/8/8141.MID[stop]
