Dion - Jailhouse Rock lyrics
rate meThe 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
