Shifty Henry said to Bugs, "For Heaven's sake
Songwriters: Jerry Leiber, Mike Stoller
If you can't find a partner, use a wooden chair"
Way over in the corner weepin' all alone
Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock
Let's rock, everybody, let's rock
Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock
Spider Murphy played the tenor saxophone
I wanna stick around a while and get my kicks"
You should've heard those knocked out jailbirds sing
No one's lookin', now's our chance to make a break"
Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock
Come on and do the Jailhouse Rock with me"
Everybody in the whole cell block
I sure would be delighted with your company
Everybody in the whole cell block
Let's rock, everybody, let's rock
The warden threw a party in the county jail
Number forty-seven said to number three
Bugsy turned to Shifty and he said, "Nix nix
The warden said, "Hey, buddy, don't you be no square
Let's rock, everybody, let's rock
the whole rhythm section was the Purple Gang
Little Joe was blowin' on the slide trombone
Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock
The band was jumpin' and the joint began to swing
The prison band was there and they began to wail
Let's rock, everybody, let's rock
Everybody in the whole cell block
The drummer boy from Illinois went crash, boom, bang
Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock

The sad sack was a sittin' on a block of stone
Everybody in the whole cell block
Let's rock, everybody, let's rock
"You're the cutest jailbird I ever did see
Everybody in the whole cell block
