  • (words & music 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 jumpin and the joint began to swing.
  • You shouldve heard those knocked out jailbirds sing.
  • Lets rock, everybody, lets 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.
  • Lets rock, everybody, lets rock.
  • Everybody in the whole cell block
  • Was dancin to the jailhouse rock.
  • Number forty-seven said to number three:
  • Youre 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 dancin to the jailhouse rock.
  • The 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 dancin 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 a while and get my kicks.
  • Lets rock, everybody, lets rock.
  • Everybody in the whole cell block
  • Was dancin to the jailhouse rock.
