Jailhouse Rock 12 Mix by Prince Charles and the City Beat Band Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The warden threw a party in the county jail
The prison band was there and they began to wail, yeah
The band was jumping and the joint began to swing
You shoulda heard those knocked out jailbirds sing, yeah
(Rock, rock, Jailhouse Rock)
[Chorus]
Let's do the Jailhouse Rock (Jailhouse Rock!)
Let's do the Jailhouse (Jailhouse Rock!)
Let's do the Jailhouse Rock (Jailhouse Rock!)
Let's do the Jailhouse, the Jailhouse Rock (Jailhouse Rock!)
[Verse 2]
Spider Murphy played the tenor saxophone
Little Joe was blowing on the slide trombone, yeah
The drummer boy from Illinois went crash-boom-bang!
(Rock, rock, Jailhouse Rock)
The whole rhythm section was the Purple Gang, yeah
[Verse 3]
Number forty-seven said to number three
"You're the cutest jailbird I ever did see", yeah
(Rock, rock, Jailhouse Rock)
"I sure would be delighted with your company", yeah
(Rock, rock, Jailhouse Rock)
"Come on and do the Jailhouse Rock with me", yeah
(Rock, rock, Jailhouse Rock)
[Chorus]
(Oww...!) Let's do the Jailhouse (Jailhouse, Jailhouse Rock!)
Let's do the Jailhouse (Jailhouse, Jailhouse Rock!)
Let's do the Jailhouse Rock (Jailhouse, Jailhouse Rock!)
Let's do the Jailhouse, the Jailhouse Rock (Jailhouse, Jailhouse Rock!)
[Verse 4]
The sad sack was a-sitting on a block of stone, yeah
Way over in the corner, weeping all alone
The warden said, "Hey buddy, don't you be no square
You can't find a partner, use a wooden chair"
(Jailhouse Rock)
[Chorus]
Let's do the Jailhouse (Jailhouse Rock)
Let's do the Jailhouse (Jailhouse Rock)
Do the Jailhouse Rock (Jailhouse Rock!)
Do the Jailhouse, the Jailhouse Rock (Jailhouse Rock!)
[Verse 5]
Shifty Henry said to Bugs, "For Heaven's sake"
(Rock, rock, Jailhouse Rock)
"No one's looking, now's our chance to make a break"
(Rock, rock, Jailhouse Rock)
Bugsy turned to Shifty and he said, "Nix nix"
(Let's rock, rock, Jailhouse Rock) (That's no-no, for all you squares)
"I wanna stick around a while and get my kicks", yeah
(Rock, rock, Jailhouse Rock)
[Chorus/outro]
Huh, let's do the Jailhouse, yeah
Let's do the Jailhouse
Let's do the Jailhouse Rock (Jailhouse Rock)
Let's do the Jailhouse, the Jailhouse Rock (Jailhouse Rock)
