Jailhouse Rock Songtext
von Link Wray

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, 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, 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, let's rock
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancin′ to the Jailhouse Rock

Let's rock, let's rock
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancin′ to the Jailhouse Rock

Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancin′ to the Jailhouse Rock

Let's rock, let′s rock
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancin' to the Jailhouse
