Dion - Jailhouse Rock lyrics

rate me

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 />

<br />

Let's rock<br />

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 a purple gang<br />

<br />

Let's rock<br />

Everybody, let's rock<br />

Everybody in the whole cell block<br />

Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock<br />

<br />

Number 47 said to number 3<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 />

<br />

Let's rock<br />

Everybody, let's rock<br />

Everybody in the whole cell block<br />

Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock, Rock, Rock<br />

<br />

Sad Sack was 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 />

<br />

Let's rock<br />

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 the 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 />

<br />

Let's rock<br />

Everybody, let's rock<br />

Everybody in the whole cell block<br />

Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock<br />

<br />

Dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock, dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock<br />

Dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock, dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock<br />

Dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock, dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock<br />

Dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock
