Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock
Everybody in the whole cell block
Let's rock
I sure would be delighted with your company
No one's lookin', now's the chance to make a break"
Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock
Let's rock
Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock
Shifty Henry said to Bugs, "For Heaven's sake
Spider Murphy played the tenor saxophone
Little Joe was blowin' on the slide trombone
The drummer boy from Illinois went crash, boom, bang
Number 47 said to number 3
Everybody in the whole cell block
The band was jumpin' and the joint began to swing
"You're the cutest jailbird I ever did see
Everybody in the whole cell block
Everybody, let's rock
Dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock, dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock
Way over in the corner weepin' all alone
Dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock, dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock
Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock, Rock, Rock
Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock
Everybody, let's rock
Everybody in the whole cell block
Let's rock
Everybody in the whole cell block
If you can't find a partner use a wooden chair"
Bugsy turned to Shifty and he said, "Nix nix
The whole rhythm section was a purple gang
The warden said, "Hey, buddy, don't you be no square
Let's rock
Everybody, let's rock
You should've heard those knocked out jailbirds sing
Let's rock
Come on and do the Jailhouse Rock with me"
Dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock, dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock
Everybody, let's rock
Everybody, let's rock
Sad Sack was sittin' on a block of stone
I wanna stick around a while and get my kicks"
