Warden threw a party in the county jail
Prison band 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 would 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!

(instrument solos)

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
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 was 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, dancing, dancing, dancing
Dancing to the jailhouse rock.
Oh they was dancing, dancing, dancing, dancing
Dancing to the jailhouse rock.
Everybody on the whole cell block
They was dancing to the jailhouse rock.

Jailhouse rock!
They was dancing to the jailhouse rock.
Everybody on the whole cell block,
They was dancin' to the jailhouse rock.

(Instrumental to end)

**Okay, I am not completely sure about this. Is that what he says? Yet another song I may have to find the original to... :-)
