Jailhouse Rock

(альбом: Before The "Boys" 1989-1993 - 2000)

The warden threw a party in the county jail
The prison band was there and they began to wail
The band was jumping 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 dancing to the Jailhouse Rock

Spider Murphy played the tenor saxophone
Little Joe was blowing 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 dancing 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 dancing to the Jailhouse Rock

Run, run, run, run

The sad sack was a sitting on a block of stone
Way over in the corner weeping 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 dancing to the Jailhouse Rock

Shifty Henry said to Bugs, "For Heaven's sake
No one's looking, 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 dancing to the Jailhouse Rock
