Ev-'rybod-y in the whole cell block

was danc-in' to the Jail-house Rock.

Verse 2.
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, everybody, let's rock.
Everybody in the whole cell block
was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock.

Verse 3.
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, everybody, let's rock.
Everybody in the whole cell block
was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock.

Verse 4.
The sad sack was a sittin'
on a block of stone
way over in the corner
weepin' all alone.
The warden said,
"Hey, buddy, don't you be no square.
If you can't 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.

Verse 5.
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 a while
and get my kicks."
Let's rock, everybody, let's rock.
Everybody in the whole cell block
was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock.
