Dion - Jailhouse Rock lyrics

Come on, 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 They were dancin' to the jailhouse rock Spider Murphy played the tenor saxophone And 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 They were 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 They were dancin' to the jailhouse rock 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 They were 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 They were dancin' to the jailhouse rock Dancin' to the jailhouse rock, dancin' to the jailhouse rock Rock, everybody, rock Everybody in the whole cell block They were dancin' to the jailhouse rock Everybody now rock, rock, everybody now rock Dancin' to the jailhouse rock, everybody rock 'n' roll Dancin' to the jailhouse, the jailhouse rock
