Goin' to a party in the county jail, Prison band was there and they began to wail. Kid is shakin' and began to sing; You should've heard them knocked out jailbirds sing. Let's rock! Everybody, let's rock! Everybody in the whole cell block Was dancin' to the jailhouse rock.
Spider Murphy sittin' on a block of stone; Little Joey blowin' on a slide trombone. Come on, Silly Willy, don't you be no square. If you cannot find a partner, use a wooden chair. Let's rock! Everybody, let's rock! Everybody in the whole cell block Was 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 awhile and get my kicks." Let's rock! Everybody, let's rock! Everybody in the whole cell block Was dancin' to the jailhouse rock.
