The prisonband was there and they began to wail The joint was jumping and the place began to swing You should have heard those knocked out jailbirds sing Let's rock Everybody let's rock Everybody on the whole cell block They was dancing to the jailhouse rock Spider Murphy played the tenor saxophone Little Joe was blowin' on the slide trombone The drummerboy from Illinois went crash boom bang The whole rhythm section was the Purple Gang Let's rock Everybody let's rock Everybody on the whole cell block They was dancing to the jailhouse rock Well number 47 said to number 3 You're the cutest jailbird I ever did see I sure'll be delighted with your company Come on and do the jailhouse rock with me Let's rock Everybody let's rock Everybody on the whole cell block They were dancing to the jailhouse rock Let's rock! Sad Sack was sittin' on a block of stone Way over in the corner weepin' all alone The warden said Hey buddy don't you be no square If you can't find a partner use a wooden chair Let's rock Everybody let's rock Everybody on the whole cell block They was dancing to the jailhouse rock They were dancing to the jailhouse rock They was dancing to the jailhouse rock They was dancing to the jailhouse rock They was dancing to the jailhouse rock Everybody on the whole cell block They was dancing to the jailhouse rock They was dancing to, dancing to, dancing to, dancing to Dancing to the jailhouse rock Oh they was dancing to, dancing to, dancing to, dancing to Dancing to the jailhouse rock Everybody on the whole cell block They was dancing to the jailhouse rock
