The warden threw a party in the county jail
prison band was there and they began to wail
Lets Rock !
Everybody Lets Rock !
Every body in the whole cell block
Was a- dancin' to the Jail-house Rock!
Spid er Murphy played the tenor saxophone
Little Joe was blowin' on the slide trombone
The sad sack was a-sittin' on a block of stone
Way over in the corner weeping all alone
Shif ty Henry said to Bugs: "For Heaven's sakes,
No one's lookin'; now's our chance to make a break
