All Shook Up movie - Jailhouse Rock lyrics

rate me

<br>

The warden threw a party in the county jail.<br>

The prison band was there and they began to wail.<br>

The band was jumpin’ and the joint began to swing.<br>

You should’ve heard those knocked out jailbirds sing.<br>

Let’s rock, everybody, let’s rock.<br>

Everybody in the whole cell block<br>

Was dancin’ to the jailhouse rock.<br>

<br>

Spider murphy played the tenor saxophone,<br>

Little joe was blowin’ on the slide trombone.<br>

The drummer boy from illinois went crash, boom, bang,<br>

The whole rhythm section was the purple gang.<br>

Let’s rock, everybody, let’s rock.<br>

Everybody in the whole cell block<br>

Was dancin’ to the jailhouse rock.<br>

<br>

Number forty-seven said to number three:<br>

You’re the cutest jailbird I ever did see.<br>

I sure would be delighted with your company,<br>

Come on and do the jailhouse rock with me.<br>

Let’s rock, everybody, let’s rock.<br>

Everybody in the whole cell block<br>

Was dancin’ to the jailhouse rock.<br>

<br>

The sad sack was a sittin’ on a block of stone<br>

Way over in the corner weepin’ all alone.<br>

The warden said, hey, buddy, don’t you be no square.<br>

If you can’t find a partner use a wooden chair.<br>

Let’s rock, everybody, let’s rock.<br>

Everybody in the whole cell block<br>

Was dancin’ to the jailhouse rock.<br>

<br>

Shifty henry said to bugs, for heaven’s sake,<br>

No one’s lookin’, now’s our chance to make a break.<br>

Bugsy turned to shifty and he said, nix nix,<br>

I wanna stick around a while and get my kicks.<br>

Let’s rock, everybody, let’s rock.<br>

Everybody in the whole cell block<br>

Was dancin’ to the jailhouse rock.<br>

<br>
