| ELVIS PRESLEY: JAILHOUSE ROCK The 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. | ELVIS PRESLEY: JAILHOUSE ROCK ROCKIN I' TH' GAOL HUIS or, Hangit for Musick The gaolman makt ae partie i' the countee gaol An' the gaol band was thare an' they began tae wael Wi' a lillie doun, lillie doun in Edinbro' toun The band was beatin an' the joint began tae swing, Ye suld hae heird thame knockt ot gaol fowls sing Wi' a lillie doun, lillie doun in Edinbro' toun Sae we a' rocke, a's rockin the rock Ilka's rockin i' the whale cell block An' dancin tae the gaol huis rock.
