Jeff Beck - Jailhouse Rock lyrics

rate me

The warden threw a party in the county jail

The prison band was there, and they began to wail

The band began to-jumping, they began to swing

You should have heard the knock down jailbird sing

Let's rock, everybody let's rock

Oh everybody in the whole cell block

Was dancing to the jailhouse rock

Number forty-seven said to number three

You're the cutest jailbird I ever did see

I sure would be delighted with your company

So come and do the jailhouse rock with me

Let's rock, everybody let's rock

Oh everybody in the whole cell block

Was dancing to the jailhouse rock, yeah!

Spider Murphy played on the tenor saxophone

Little Joe was blowin' on a slide trombone

Drummer boy from Illinois was crash-a-bam boomin'

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

Listen

Dancing to the jailhouse rock

Dancing to the jailhouse rock

Dancing to the jailhouse rock

Dancing to the jailhouse rock

Everybody in the whole cell block

Was dancing to the jailhouse rock, yeah!

Everybody in the whole cell block

Dancing to the jailhouse rock

C'mon

Dancing to the jailhouse rock

Dancing to the jailhouse rock

Dancing to the jailhouse rock

Dancing to the jailhouse rock

Everybody in the whole cell block

Was dancing to the jailhouse ...
