The warden threw a party in the county jail
prison band was there and they began to wail
band was jumpin' and the joint began to swing
should've heard thosed kocked out jail birds sing
Chorus:
Lets Rock !
Lets Rock !
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was a-dancin' to the Jail-house Rock!
Spider Murphy played the tenor saxophone
Little Joe was blowin' on the slide trombone
The drummer boy for Illinois went crash, boom, bang !
The whole rhythm section was the purple gang
Chorus
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.
Chorus
The sad sack was a-sittin' on a block of stone
Way over in the corner weeping all alone
The warden said: " Hey, buddy, don't you be no square.
If you can't find a partner use a wooden chair !"
Chorus
Shifty Henry said to Bugs: "For Heaven's sakes,
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.
Chorus

Chicks, kicks, cats, cool, yeah school!
Yeah, yeah, yeah I go a swingin' school
Where the chicks are kicks and the cats are cool.
Well we dance the greatest and we dress the latest
Wo, wo, wo I go a swingin' school.
Ah, Bobby Ah! Uh huh! Everythings cool, thats cool
We're glad you go to a swingin' school.
My little chick is my heart's desire
Well the way we kiss it puts the school on fire.
Ah chicks, kicks, cats, cool, yeah school!
Yeah yeah yeah wail!
After school we have to rendezvous
Gonna plan all the things that we're gonna do.
Trade bookin' for cookin' and I'll quit my lookin'
When our days at the school are through.
Ah, Bobby Ah! Ah hah! Everythings cool, thats cool
We're glad you go to a swingin' school.
We live and love by the golden rule
We're gonna settle down at a swingin' school.
Well have a house and car, a swimmin' pool
Wo, wo, wo I go a swingin' school.
I said a wo, wo, wo I go a swingin' school.
