Went to a party on account of jail
The prison band was there and they began to wall
The band was jumping night and began to swing
Should of heard the knocked down jailbirds sing
Let's rock everybody let's rock
Everybody in the whole cell block was dancing to the jailhouse rock
Spider murphy playing the tenor saxophone
Little joe playing on the slide trombone
The drummer running round with a crash boom bang
The whole rhuthm section was the purple gang
Let's rock everybody let's rock
Everybody from whole cell block was dancing to the jailhouse rock
Number 47 said to number 3
You're the cutest jailbird I ever did see
I would be delighted would you come with me
Let's rock, everybody let's rock
Everybody from the whole cell block is dancing From the jailhouse rock
The prison band was there and they began to wall
