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
Let's rock
Everybody let's 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
Let's rock
Everybody let's rock
Everybody on the whole cell block
They was dancing to the jailhouse rock
Well number 47 said to number 3
You're the cutest jailbird I ever did see
I sure'll be delighted with your company
Come on and do the jailhouse rock with me
Let's rock
Everybody let's rock
Everybody on the whole cell block
They were dancing to the jailhouse rock
Let's 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 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
Dancing to the jailhouse rock...
o carcereiro deu uma festa na penitenciária
a banda dos prisioneiros apreceu e começaram a gritar
a banda arrasava e o lugar começa a esquentar
deviam ouvir essa prisão cantar
vamos dançar
todos,vamos dançar
todos daquelas celas
dançavam com o rock da prisão
murphy aranha tocava saxofone
joe soprava no trombone
o baterista de illinois fazia pa,pum,bang
toda a sessao de ritmo era uma gangue de arrasar
vamos dançar
todos,vamos dançar
todos daquelas celas
dançavam com o rock da prisão
bem disse o numero 47 para o numero 3
você e o prisioneiro mais graciosos que eu ja vi
eu certamente ficarei encantado com sua compania
venha fazer rock da prisão comigo
vamos dançar
todos,vamos dançar
todos daquelas celas
dançavam com o rock da prisão
vamos dançar
sad sack sentado sobre um bloco de pedra
bem no cantinho chorando sozinho
