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 shoulda heard those knocked out jailbirds sing
Lets rock, everybody, lets 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
Lets rock, everybody, lets 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
I sure would be delighted with your company
Come on and do the jailhouse rock with me"
Lets rock, everybody, lets rock
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancing to the jailhouse rock

Sad Sack was a sittin on a block of stone
Way over in the corner, weepin all alone
The warden said, "Hey, buddy, dont you be no square
If you cant find a partner use a wooden chair"
Lets rock, everybody, lets rock
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancing to the jailhouse rock

Shifty Henry said to Bugs, "For heavens sake
No ones lookin, nows our chance to make a break"
Bugsy turned to shifty and he said, "Nix, nix
I wanna stick around; I wanna and get my kicks"
Lets rock, everybody, lets rock
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancing to the jailhouse rock
