Jailhouse Rock Songtext
von Alvin Stardust

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 them knocked-out jailbirds sing

Let's rock,everybody let's rock
Everybody in the whole cell block
They're gonna dance 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
They're gonna dance to the Jailhouse Rock
(Ooh,ooh,ooh)
(Dance 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 want to stick around a while and get my kicks"

Let's rock everybody, let's rock
Everybody in the whole cell block
They're gonna dance to the Jailhouse Rock
Everybody in the whole cell block
They're gonna dance to the Jailhouse Rock
Everybody in the whole cell block
They're gonna dance to the Jailhouse Rock


(Let's rock,ooh,let's rock)
(Let's rock,ooh,let's rock)
(Ooh,ooh,dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock)
(Ooh,ooh,dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock)
(Ooh,ooh,dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock)
