Jailhouse Rock
Warden threw a party in the county jail
The prison band was there and they began to wail
The band was jumping 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 dancing to the jailhouse rock
Shifty get his head up, oh, for heavens sake
Everybody riding, trying to make a break
Shifty turned to Henry and his head on Nick's nick
I wanna stick around a while and get my kicks
Let's rock, everybody, let's rock
Everybody in the whole cell block
They were dancing to the jailhouse rock, oh
Jailer number 47 said to number three
You're the cutest jailbird I ever did see
I sure would be delighted if you come with me
Come on and do the jailhouse rock with me
Let's rock, everybody, let's rock
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancing to the jailhouse rock, yeah
Well, let's rock, everybody, let's rock
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancing to the jailhouse rock
They were shaking to the jailhouse rock
A jailer talking to the jailhouse rock
Mm-hmm swinging to the jailhouse rock
The prison band was there and they began to wail
The band was jumping 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 dancing to the jailhouse rock
Shifty get his head up, oh, for heavens sake
Everybody riding, trying to make a break
Shifty turned to Henry and his head on Nick's nick
I wanna stick around a while and get my kicks
Let's rock, everybody, let's rock
Everybody in the whole cell block
They were dancing to the jailhouse rock, oh
Jailer number 47 said to number three
You're the cutest jailbird I ever did see
I sure would be delighted if you come with me
Come on and do the jailhouse rock with me
Let's rock, everybody, let's rock
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancing to the jailhouse rock, yeah
Well, let's rock, everybody, let's rock
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancing to the jailhouse rock
They were shaking to the jailhouse rock
A jailer talking to the jailhouse rock
Mm-hmm swinging to the jailhouse rock
