Asked a girl what she wanted to be, She said, «Baby, can't you see? I wanna be famous, a star of the screen. But you can do something in between».
Baby, you can drive my car, yes, I'm gonna be a star, Baby, you can drive my car, and maybe I'll love you.
I told that girl that my prospects weregood, And she said, «Baby, it's understood. Working for peanuts is all very fine, But I can show you a better time!»
Baby, you can drive my car, yes, I'm gonna be a star, Baby, you can drive my car, and maybe I'll love you.
………………………………… 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
*Chorus:*
Let's rock, everybody, let's rock
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancin' to the Jailhouse 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
*Chorus x1*
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
*Chorus x1*
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
*Chorus x1*
Shifty Henry said to Bugsy, for Heaven's sake
No one's lookin', now's our chance to make a break
