Jailhouse Rock / Twist and Shout
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 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
Well, shake it up, baby, now (shake it up, baby)
Twist and shout (twist and shout)
Come on, come on, come on, come on, baby, now (come on, baby)
Come on and work it on out (work it on out)
Well, work it on out (work it on out)
You know you look so good (look so good)
You really you got me goin' now (got me goin')
Just like I knew you would (like I knew you would)
Come on, come on, come on, baby now
Twist and shout, shake it out baby now
Work it on out
Well shake it, shake it, shake it baby now
Twist and shout
Well shake it, shake it, shake it baby now
Come on and work it on out
