Lyrics
Jailhouse Rock
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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 shoulda heard those knocked out jailbirds sing
Lets 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 blowin' on a slide trombone
The little boy from drummer, zaph 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
Shifty Henry said to Bugs For heaven's sake
No one's looking now's the 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
Dancin' to the jailhouse rock
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancin' to the jailhouse rock
Ooh yeah, let's rock
