Jailhouse Rock Lyrics by Cheyenne Jackson

All Shook Up (Original Broadway Cast Recording)

2005

[CHAD]
Warden threw a party in the county jail
Prison band was there and they began to wail
The band was jumping and the joint began to swing
You should've heard those knocked out jailbirds sing!
Let's rock!
Oh baby, let's rock!
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancing to the jailhouse rock!
Spider Murphy on the tenor saxophone
Little Joe's a-blowin' on the slide trombone
The drummer boy from Illinois went crash boom bang
The whole rhythm section, what a purple gang!
[CHAD, (ENSEMBLE)]
Let's rock!
(Rock! Rock)
Oh, baby, let's rock
(Rock to the jail
Rock, Rock to the jail, rock!)
Everybody in the whole cell block
Will be dancing to the jailhouse rock!
[CHAD]
Number 47 said to Number 3
[NUMBER 47]
You're the cutest jailbird I ever did see
[NUMBER 3]
I sure would be delighted with your company!
[NUMBER 47 and NUMBER 3]
Come on and do the jailhouse rock with me!
[CHAD, (ENSEMBLE)]
Let's rock!
(Rock! Rock! Rock!)
Oh baby, let's rock!
(Rock in the jail
Rock, Rock in the jail, rock)
Everybody in the whole cell block
Will be dancing to the jailhouse rock!
[ENSEMBLE]
Sad sack was sittin' on a block of stone
Way over in the corner, weeping' all alone
Warden said "Hey buddy don't you be no square!"
[CHAD]
If you can't find a partner use a wooden chair!
[CHAD, (ENSEMBLE)]
(Let's rock!
Rock! Rock! Rock!)
Oh baby, let's rock!
(Rock!
Rock! Rock! Rock!)
Everybody in the whole cell block
[ENSEMBLE]
Was dancing to the jailhouse rock!
[DANCE BREAK]
(Rock!
Rock!
Rock!
Rock!
Rock! Rock!
Rock! Rock!)
A Prisoner whistles
[ENSEMBLE]
Let's rock!
Oh baby, let's rock!
Everybody in the whole cell block
Will be dancing!
Will be dancing!
Dancing to the jailhouse
Dancing to the jailhouse
Dancing to the jailhouse rock!
