Jerry Lee Lewis Jailhouse Rock lyrics

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

Shifty Henry said to Bugs, "For Heaven's sake
Everybody around here tryin' to make a break"
Shifty turned to Henry and he said, "Nix nix
I wanna stick around, wannna get my kicks"

Let's rock, everybody, let's rock
Everybody in the whole cell block
They were dancin' to the jailhouse rock, oh


Number forty seven said to number three
"You're the cutest jailbird I ever did see
I sure would be delighted if you come with me
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

Let's rock, everybody let's rock
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancing to the jailhouse rock
They were shakin' to the jailhouse rock
They were buggin' to the jailhouse rock
Swingin' to the jailhouse rock
