Jailhouse Rock — Twisted Sister

Jerry Leiber/Mike Stoller

Warden threw a party in the county jail Prison band plays, they began to wail Band was jumpin' and the joint began to swing Should've heard those knocked out jailbirds sing

Chorus:

Let's rock Everybody let's rock Everybody in the whole cell block Dancin' to a jailhouse rock

Shifty Henry said, for the heaven's sake No one lookin', now our chance to make a break Bugs turned to Shifty, said nix nix Gonna stick around, gonna get my kicks

Repeat Chorus

Number Forty zero said to number Three You're the cutest jailbird I ever did see Sure I'd be delighted with your company Come on and do the jailhouse cock with me

Repeat Chorus

Solo - Left: Jay Jay, Right: Eddie

Sad sack was sittin' on a block of stone Over in the floor weepin' all alone Warden said, hey buddy, don'tcha be no square Can't find a partner, fuck a wooden chair

Repeat Chorus

Shifty Henry said, for the heaven's sake No one lookin', now our chance to make a break Bugs turned to Shifty, said nix nix Gonna stick around, I wanna get my kicks

Repeat Chorus

Dancin' to a jailhouse rock Dancin' to a jailhouse rock Dancin' to a jailhouse rock Dancin' to a jailhouse rock Everybody in the whole cell block Dancin' to a jailhouse rock Everybody in the whole cell block Said, a-dancin' to a jailhouse rock
