Goin' to a party in the county jail, 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.
