Jailhouse Rock
The warden threw a party in the county jailThe prison band was there and they began to wailThe band was jumpin' down they began to swingYou should've heard those jailbirds singLet's rock, everybody, let's rockEverybody in the whole cell blockWas dancin' to the jailhouse rockWell Spider Murphy played on the saxophoneLittle Joe was blowin' on the slide tromboneThe drummer boy from Illinois went crash, boom, bangThe whole rhythm section was the Purple GangLet's rock, everybody, let's rockEverybody in the whole cell blockWas dancin' to the jailhouse rockWell number forty-seven said to number three:"You're the cutest jailbird I ever did seeI sure could enjoy some of your companyCome on and do the Jailhouse Rock with me"Let's rock, everybody, let's rockEverybody in the whole cell blockWas dancin' to the jailhouse rockWell sad sack was a sittin' on a block of stoneWhen over in the corner weepin' all aloneThe warden said, "Buddy, don't you be no squareIf you can't find a partner use a wooden chair"Let's rock, everybody, let's rockLetras de cancionesEverybody in the whole cell blockWas dancin' to the jailhouse rockWell Henry said to Bugs, "For Heaven's sakeNo one's lookin', now's our chance to make a break"Bugsy turned to Shifty and he said, "Nix nixI want to stick around a while and get my kicks"Let's rock, everybody, let's rockEverybody in the whole cell blockWas dancin' to the jailhouse rock
