Jailhouse Rock Lyrics - Singles - Blues Brors

1. 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 them knocked out jailbirds sing 

Let's rock, everybody, let's rock, everybody in the whole cell block 

Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock 

2. 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 dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock 

3. Number forty-seven said to number three 

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., wverybody in the whole cell block 

Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock 

Instr. 

4. 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 

5. 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, everybody, let's rock, everybody in the whole cell block 

Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock 

Schluss Dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock
