Lyrics: Yes
 
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
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
Let's rock, everybody, let's rock
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was 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
Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock
 
INTERLUDE
 
Let's rock, everybody, let's rock
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was a dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock
Dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock
I've been dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock
 
And we were dancing to the jailhouse rock
O yeah!
