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.
