    The warden threw a party in the county jail where the prison band began playing and all the inmates started dancing to "Jailhouse Rock". Various inmates like Spider Murphy on saxophone and Little Joe on trombone jammed with the band. All the prisoners in the cell block were dancing and enjoying the music, including one inmate who asked another to dance with him. Even a sad sack inmate in the corner was encouraged to find a partner, even if it was just a wooden chair, to join in the dancing.

    Elvis Presley – Jailhouse Rock

    The warden threw a party in the county jail


    The prison band was there and they began to wail
    The band was jumpin' and the joint began to swing
    You should've heard them knocked-out jailbirds sing

    Let's rock; everybody, let's rock


    Everybody in the whole cell block
    Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock

    Spider Murphy played the tenor saxophone


    Little Joe was blowin' 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 dancin' 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 dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock

    Sad sack was sittin' on a block of stone


    Way over in the corner weepin' 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 dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock

    Shifty Henry said to Bugs, "For Heaven's sake


    No one's lookin'; now's our chance to make a break"
    Bugsy turned to Shifty and he said, "Nix, nix
    I want to stick around a while and get my kicks"

    Let's rock; everybody, let's rock


    Everybody in the whole cell block
    Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock

    Dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock


    Dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock
    Dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock
    Dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock
    Dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock
