Testo della canzone
The warden threw a party in the county jailThe prison band was there and they began to wailThe band was jumpin’ and the joint began to swingYou should’ve heard those knocked out jailbirds sing
Let’s rockEverybody, let’s rockEverybody in the whole cell blockWas dancin’ to the Jailhouse Rock
Spider Murphy played the tenor saxophoneLittle Joe was blowin’ on the slide tromboneThe drummer boy from Illinois went crash, boom, bangThe whole rhythm section was a purple gang
Let’s rockEverybody, let’s rockEverybody in the whole cell blockWas dancin’ to the Jailhouse Rock
Number 47 said to number three“You’re the cutest jailbird I ever did seeI sure would be delighted with your companyCome on and do the Jailhouse Rock with me”
Let’s rockEverybody, let’s rockEverybody in the whole cell blockWas dancin’ to the Jailhouse Rock, Rock, Rock
Sad Sack was sittin’ on a block of stoneWay over in the corner weepin’ all aloneThe warden said, “Hey, buddy, don’t you be no squareIf you can’t find a partner, use a wooden chair”
Let’s rockEverybody, let’s rockEverybody in the whole cell blockWas dancin’ to the Jailhouse Rock
Shifty Henry said to Bugs, “For Heaven’s sake
No one’s lookin’, now’s the chance to make a break”Bugsy turned to Shifty and he said, “Nix nixI wanna stick around a while and get my kicks”
Let’s rockEverybody, let’s rockEverybody in the whole cell blockWas dancin’ to the Jailhouse Rock
Dancin’ to the Jailhouse Rock, dancin’ to the Jailhouse RockDancin’ to the Jailhouse Rock, dancin’ to the Jailhouse RockDancin’ to the Jailhouse Rock
