Warden threw a party in the county jail   Prison band was there, they began to wail   Band was jumpin' down, they began to swing   Should've heard those jailbirds sing      Let's rock, everybody, let's rock   Everybody in the whole cell block   Dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock      Spider Murphy played on the saxophone   Little Joe was blowin' on the slide trombone   Drummer boy from Illinois went crash, boom, bang   Whole rhythm section was the Purple Gang      Let's rock, everybody, let's rock   Everybody in the whole cell block   Dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock      Let's rock      Sad sack was a sittin' on a block of stone   Over in the corner weepin' all alone   Warden said, "buddy, don't you be no square   Can't find a partner use a wooden chair"      Let's rock, everybody, let's rock   Everybody in the whole cell block   Dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock      Well, Shifty said to Henry, "For Heaven's sake   One's lookin', now's our chance to make a break"   Bugsy turned to Henry 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   Dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock      Let's rock, let's rock   Hey let's rock, let's rock   Dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock      Let's rock, let's rock, let's rock   Let's rock
