Jailhouse Rock Lyrics

Jailhouse Rock lyrics

The 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 shoulda heard those knocked out jailbirds sing



Lets 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 blowin' on a slide trombone

The little boy from drummer, zaph 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



Shifty Henry said to Bugs For heaven's sake

No one's looking now's the 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

Dancin' to the jailhouse rock

Everybody in the whole cell block

Was dancin' to the jailhouse rock

Ooh yeah, let's rock
