Jailhouse Rock

Jailhouse Rock - Catch This Beat

Warden threw a party in the county jail

Prison band was there and they began to wail

The band was jumpin' 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 dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock

Spider Murphy played the tenor saxophone

Little Joe was blowin' on the slide trombone

The drummer boy from Illinois went crash 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

Number forty-seven said to number three

You're the cutest jailbird I ever did see

I sure would be delighted with your company

Come on and do the Jailhouse Rock with me

Let's rock everybody let's rock

Everybody in the whole cell block

Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock

The sad sack sittin' on a block of stone

Way over in the corner weepin' all alone

The warden said Hey buddy don't you be no square

If you can't find a partner use a wooden chair

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 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

Let's rock everybody let's rock

Everybody in the whole cell block

Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock

Dance to the Jailhouse Rock
