Elvis Presley Jailhouse Rock
Written by Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller for Elviss 1957 movie Jailhouse Rock. Elvis recorded it April 30, 1957 at Radio Recorders. Jailhouse Rock entered Billboards Top 100 chart at #15; it became #1 three weeks later and stayed for seven weeks. It spent a total of 27 weeks on the chart. It was also #1 on the Country Best- Seller for one week and rhythm & blues chart for five weeks. In England, it entered the chart at #1—the first single in the history of British charts to do so. It sold over 1,000,000 copies and was the A-side to Treat Me Nice. It is available on many albums and CDs, including the Jailhouse Rock/Love Me Tender soundtrack compilation, Silver Screen Stereo, Elvis by the Presleys, Elvis at the Movies, Elvis Movies, Elvis Songs from the Movies, Elvis Golden Records, Elvis Close-Up (Master), The King of Rock n Roll-The Complete 50s Masters, Artist of the Century, A Touch of Platinum, Platinum: A Life in Music, and Elvis 30 #1 Hits, which is where this version is from.
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 those knocked out jailbirds sing.
Let's rock, everybody, let's rock.
Everybody in the whole cellblock 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 cellblock was a 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 cellblock was a dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock.
Rock, Rock, Rock, Rock
The sad sack was a 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 cellblock was a 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 wanna stick around a while and get my kicks."
Let's rock, everybody, let's rock.
Everybody in the whole cellblock was a 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
