Jailhouse Rock (First 'Stand-Up' Show - Live) - Elvis Presley

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

Lets rock everybody lets 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

Lets rock everybody lets 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

Lets rock everybody lets rock

Everybody in the whole cell block

Was dancin to the jailhouse rock

Shifty Henry said to bugs for heavens sake

No ones 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

Lets rock everybody lets rock

Everybody in the whole cell block

Was dancin to the jailhouse rock

Was dancin to the jailhouse rock
