lyrics

Jailhouse Rock-

V1:
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 shoulda heard those knocked out jailbirds sing

Chorus:
Lets rock, everybody, lets rock
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancin’ to the jailhouse rock

V2:
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!

V3:
Spider Murphy played his 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

Chorus!

Solo

V4:
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"

Chorus!

V5:
Shifty Henry said to bugs: "for heavens sake
No ones 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!
Dancin’ to the jailhouse rock X4
Everybody in the whole cell block was dancin’ to the jailhouse rock
Dancin’ to the jailhouse rock X4
Dancin’ X4
Well everybody in the whole cell block was dancin’….
To the jailhouse rock

Mitch Capone was captivated by the golden era of swing at the age of 18. Making guest appearances on Newcastle stages. Encouraged by Newcastle record producer Mark Tinson, Mitch began writing songs and an album Bad Blood is now complete. Fusing big band swing arrangements with dirty rockabilly boogie, "Bad Blood" heralds the birth of an exciting and irresistible new style of music - SWINGABILLY. ... more
