The warden threw a party in the county jailThe prisonband was there and they began to wailThe joint was jumping and the place began to swingYou should have heard those knocked out jailbirds singLet's rockEverybody let's rockEverybody on the whole cell blockThey was dancing to the jailhouse rockSpider Murphy played the tenor saxophoneLittle Joe was blowin' on the slide tromboneThe drummerboy from Illinois went crash boom bangThe whole rhythm section was the Purple GangLet's rockEverybody let's rockEverybody on the whole cell blockThey was dancing to the jailhouse rockWell number 47 said to number 3You're the cutest jailbird I ever did seeI sure'll be delighted with your companyCome on and do the jailhouse rock with meLet's rockEverybody let's rockEverybody on the whole cell blockThey were dancing to the jailhouse rockLet's rock!Sad Sack was sittin' on a block of stoneWay over in the corner weepin' all aloneThe warden said Hey buddy don't you be no squareIf you can't find a partner use a wooden chairLet's rockEverybody let's rockEverybody on the whole cell blockThey was dancing to the jailhouse rockThey were dancing to the jailhouse rockThey was dancing to the jailhouse rockThey was dancing to the jailhouse rockThey was dancing to the jailhouse rockEverybody on the whole cell blockThey was dancing to the jailhouse rockThey was dancing to, dancing to, dancing to, dancing toDancing to the jailhouse rockOh they was dancing to, dancing to, dancing to, dan
