The warden threw a party in the county jail
The prison band 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 jail house 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 on the whole cell block
They was dancing to the jail house 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 jail house rock with me
Let's rock, everybody let's rock
Everybody on the whole cell block
They were dancing to the jail house 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
Let's rock, everybody let's rock
Everybody on the whole cell block
They was dancing to the jail house rock
They were dancing to the jail house rock
They was dancing to the jail house rock
They was dancing to the jail house rock
They was dancing to the jail house rock
Everybody on the whole cell block
They was dancing to the jail house rock
They was dancing to, dancing to, dancing to
Dancing to, dancing to the jail house rock
Oh, they was dancing to, dancing to, dancing to
Dancing to, dancing to the jail house rock
Everybody on the whole cell block
They was dancing to the jail house rock
Dancing to the jail house rock
