Lyrics:

Hey, let's get out of here!
Hey, pick up that rhythm!
One-two, one-two-two
One-two, one-two-two
One-two, one-two-two

The warden threw a party in the county jail
The prison band was there, they began to wail
The band was jumping, and the joint began to swing
You shoulda heard those locked-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 blowing 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
'You the cutest jailbird I ever did see
I sure would be delighted with your company
Come on and do the Jailhouse Rock with me'

Let's rock, (Go! Go! Go!) everybody, let's rock (Lay it on me, Daddy-O!)
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancing to the Jailhouse Rock
Rock, rock, rock

Rock, rock!
Rock, rock!
Rock to the Jailhouse Rock!
Rock, rock!
Rock, rock!
Rock to the Jailhouse Rock!

Sad Sack was sitting on a block of stone
Way over in the corner weeping all alone
The warden said, 'Hey, buddy, don't you be no square
You can't find a partner, use a wooden chair'

Let's rock, (Arrrgh! Rock, rock!) everybody, let's rock (Rock, rock!)
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancing to the Jailhouse Rock

Shifty Henry said to Bugs, 'For Heaven's sake
No one's looking, now's 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.'

Let's rock, (Arrrgh! Rrrrrrrock!) everybody, let's rock (Rrrrrrrock!)
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancing to the Jailhouse Rock

Dancing to the Jailhouse Rock (Rock, rock, rock!)
Dancing to the Jailhouse Rock (Rock, rock, rock!)
Dancing to the Jailhouse Rock (Rock, rock, rock!)
Dancing to the Jailhouse Rock (Rock, rock, rock!)
Dancing to the Jailhouse Rock (Rock, rock, rock!)
Dancing to the Jailhouse Rock (Rock, rock, rock!)
Dancing to the Jailhouse Rock (Rock, rock, rock!)
Dancing to the Jailhouse Rock (Rock, rock, rock!)

(The song transitions to an instrumental ending piece combined with a short machine gun sound effect in the middle)
