The warden threw a party in the county jail

Everybody in the whole cell block 

Was a dancin´to the Jailhouse Rock

Spider Murphy played the tenor saxophone 

Little Joe was blowin´on the slide trombone 

The drummer boy for Illinois went crash bomm bang 

The whole rhythm section was the purple gang

Everybody in the whole cell block 

Was a dancin´to the Jailhouse Rock

I sure would be delighted with your yompany 

Come on and do the jailhouse rock with me

Everybody in the whole cell block

Strophe) 

The sag sack was a sittin´on a block of stone 

Way over in the corner weeping all alone 

The warden said: "Bey buddy don´t you be no square 

If you can´t tind a partner use a wooden chair" 

Refrain) 

Lets Rock 

Lets Rock 

Everybody in the whole cell block 

Was a dancin´to the Jailhouse Rock

Shifty Henry said to Bugs For Heaven´s sakes 

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 

Refrain) 

Lets Rock 

Lets Rock 

Everybody in the whole cell block 

Was a dancin´to the Jailhouse Rock
