歌词
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 dancing 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 dancing to the jailhouse rock
Number forty-seven said to number three
Let's rock, everybody, let's rock
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancing to the jailhouse rock
Rock, rock, r...
Sad Sack was a sittin' on a block of stone
Way over in the corner weepin' all alone
The warden said, ["Hey, buddy, don't you be no squareIf you can't find a partner use a wooden chair"]
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 sakeNo one's looking, now's our chance to make a break"]
Bugsy turned to shifty and he said, ["Nix nixI wanna 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
Dancing to the jailhouse rock
Dancing to the jailhouse rock
