Elvis Presley "Jailhouse Rock" Music Video
Song Lyrics
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 those 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.
Run, run, run, run
The sad sack was a 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 wanna 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.
