作曲:J. Leibler,M. Stoller
Warden threw a party in the county jail
The prison band was there and they began to wail
The band was jumping 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 dancing to the jailhouse rock
Spider murphy played the tenor saxophone
Little joe was blowing on the slide trombone
The drummer pulled the nelly going 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
Sad sack was sitting on a block of stone
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 in
The whole cell block was dancing to the jailhouse rock
Shifty henry said to folks for heaven's sake
The warden's looking out a chance to make a break
My brother turned to shifty and he said nick snitch
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
Dancin' to the jailhouse rock
