The
warden threw a party in the county jail,
prison band was there and
they began to wail.
Band was jumpin' and the joint began to swing,
should've
heard those kocked out jail birds sing.
Lets Rock ! Everybody
lets Rock !
Everybody in the whole cell block,
was a-dancin' to
the Jail-house Rock!
Spider Murphy played the tenor
saxophone,
Little Joe was blowin' on the slide trombone.
The
drummer boy for Illinois went crash, boom, bang !
The whole rhythm
section was the Purple Gang. + REFRAIN
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. + REFRAIN
The sad sack was a-sittin' on a block of
stone,
way over in the corner weeping all alone.
The warden said:
" Hey, buddy, don't you be no square.
If you can't find a
partner use a wooden chair !" + REFRAIN
Shifty Henry said to
Bugs: "For Heaven's sakes,
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." + REFRAIN
+
dancin' to the Jail-house Rock.... |
