文本歌词

The warden threw a party
in the county jail
The prison band was there
and they began to wail
The band was jumpin'
and the joint began to swing
You should've heard them
knocked out jailbirds sing
Let's rock,
everybody, let's rock
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock
Spider Murphy played the tenor saxophone
Little Joe was blowin'
on the slide trombone
The drummer boy from Illinois went crash,
boom, bang
The whole rhythm section was the Purple Gang
Let's rock,
everybody, let's rock
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancin' 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
Come on
and do the Jailhouse Rock with me
Let's rock,
everybody, let's rock
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancin' to the Jailhouse 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 in the whole cell block
Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock
Shifty Henry said to Bugs,
for heaven's sake
No one's lookin',
now's our chance to make a break
Bugsy turned to Shifty
and he said, nix nix
I want to stick around a while
and get my kicks
Let's rock,
everybody, let's rock
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock
Dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock
Dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock
Dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock
Dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock
