One threw a party in the county jail
Riz and Bat was there and they began to wail
The bat was jumping and the joint began to swing
Should have heard those knocked out jailbirds sing
Let's rock, everybody let's rock
Everybody in the whole sub-lock
Was dancing to the jailhouse rock
Spider Murphy played the tenor saxophone
Lil' Joe was blowing off the stock 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 sub-lock
Was dancing to the jailhouse rock
Number 47 said to number 3
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 let's rock
Everybody in the whole sub-lock
Was dancing to the jailhouse rock
Everybody let's rock
Let's rock
Let's rock
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Let's go
