[jerry leiber/mike stoller]
warden threw a party in the county jail
prison band plays, they began to wail
band was jumpin' and the joint began to swing
should've heard those knocked out jailbirds sing
[chorus:]
let's rock
everybody let's rock
everybody in the whole cell block
dancin' to a jailhouse rock
shifty henry said, for the heaven's sake
no one lookin', now our chance to make a break
bugs turned to shifty, said nix nix
gonna stick around, gonna get my kicks
[repeat chorus]
number forty zero said to number three
you're the cutest jailbird i ever did see
sure i'd be delighted with your company
come on and do the jailhouse cock with me
[repeat chorus]
[solo - left: jay jay, right: eddie]
sad sack was sittin' on a block of stone
over in the floor weepin' all alone
warden said, hey buddy, don'tcha be no square
can't find a partner, fuck a wooden chair
[repeat chorus]
shifty henry said, for the heaven's sake
no one lookin', now our chance to make a break
bugs turned to shifty, said nix nix
gonna stick around, i wanna get my kicks
[repeat chorus]
dancin' to a jailhouse rock
dancin' to a jailhouse rock
dancin' to a jailhouse rock
dancin' to a jailhouse rock
everybody in the whole cell block
dancin' to a jailhouse rock
everybody in the whole cell block
said, a-dancin' to a jailhouse rock
