You will also find the letters on the bottom of the post. And now, just prick up your ears and have fun.
The warden threw a party in the county jail
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
Lets rock
Everybody lets 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
Lets rock
Everybody lets rock
Everybody on the whole cell block
They was dancing to the jailhouse rock
Well number 47 said to number 3
Youre the cutest jailbird I ever did see
I surell be delighted with your company
Come on and do the jailhouse rock with me
Lets rock
Everybody lets rock
Everybody on the whole cell block
They were dancing to the jailhouse rock
Lets rock!
Sad sack was sittin on a block of stone
Way over in the corner weepin all alone
The warden said hey buddy dont you be no square
If you cant find a partner use a wooden chair
Lets rock
Everybody lets 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
