Jailhouse Rock Medley (Live At The Hammersmith Odeon, London / 1975) Lyrics

Warden threw a party in the county jail
Prison band was there and they began to wail
The band was jumpin' and the joint began to swing
Should've heard them knocked out jailbirds sing

Let's rock, everybody, let's rock and roll tonight
Everybody in the whole cell block
Dancin' 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
Whole rhythm section was the purple gang

Let's rock, everybody, let's rock and roll tonight
Everybody in the whole cell block
Dancing to the jailhouse rock, come on

Number forty-seven said to number three
'You're the cutest jailbird I ever did see'
'Sure would be delighted with your company'
'Come on and do the jailhouse rock with me'

Let's rock, come on, everybody, let's rock and roll tonight
Everybody in the whole cell block
Dancing to the jailhouse rock, one more time

Stupid cupid you're a real mean guy
Ooh, and you can fly
Oooh, it's a crying shame
Stupid cupid, stop playing that game
Hey, hey, set me free
Stupid cupid stop a picking on

Be bop a lula - you're shooting my baby
Be bop a lula - she's driving me crazy
Be bop a lula - I know what you're saying
Be bop a lula - don't a play that game
Oh rock and roll, rock and roll, everybody, oh, oh, oh

Alright, ok, oh
Keep dancing to the jailhouse
Dancing to the jailhouse rock
Oh, yeah
Everybody in the whole cell block
Dancing to the jailhouse rock
Dancing to the jailhouse rock, come on
Dancing to the jailhouse rock, everybody, sing it Jailhouse rock
Keep dancing to the jailhouse rock, let me hear you

Dancing to the jailhouse rock
Dancing to the jailhouse rock, don't be shy, come on
(Dancing to the jailhouse rock)
(Dancing to the jailhouse rock), that's right
(Dancing to the jailhouse rock)

Keep dancing to the jailhouse rock, come on sweeties, yeah, yeah
Dancing to the jailhouse rock, alright, move your hips, yeah
Alright, dancing, dancing, dancing to the jailhouse rock
Keep moving, alright, ok, oh shake it, yes, yes, shake it

Shake, rattle and roll
Oooh, oooh, yeah
Come on, yeah
Oh, everybody rock and roll
Oooh, yeah

Sad sack sitting on a block of stone
Way in the corner weeping all alone
The warden said nobody, don't you be no square
Can't find a partner use a wooden chair

Let's rock, everybody let's rock and roll tonight
Everybody in the whole cell block
Dancing to the jailhouse rock

Keep dancing to the jailhouse rock
Keep dancing to the jailhouse rock, yeah, yeah, oh yeah, ooh, ooh yeah, nice
We're dancing to the jailhouse rock

Thank you
Thank you very much, goodnight everybody

Alright, this is where we start I think
But we're on our own now, ok
