Jailhouse Rock

Jailhouse Rock - Elvis Presley

Written by：Jerry Leiber/Mike Stoller

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 should've heard those knocked out jailbirds sing

Let's rock everybody let's rock

Everybody in the whole cell block

Was dancing to the jailhouse rock

Spider Murphy played the tenor saxophone

Little Joe was blowing 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 dancing to the jailhouse rock

Number forty-seven said to number three

You're the cutest jailbird I ever did see

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 dancing to the jailhouse rock

Shifty Henry said to bugs for heaven's sake

No one's looking now's our chance to make a break

Bugsy turned to shifty and he said nix nix

I want to stick around a while and get my kicks

Let's rock everybody let's rock

Everybody in the whole cell block

Was dancing to the jailhouse rock

Dancing to the jailhouse rock

Dancing to the jailhouse rock

Jailhouse rock
