The Blues Brothers – Jailhouse Rock (HD)
The Blues Brothers performing ‘Jailhouse Rock’ in the 1980 film The Blues Brothers.
One of the best movies with a great epic ending!!
So many great late legends from this movie like John Lee Hooker, James Brown, Cab Calloway, John Candy, Ray Charles, Carrie Fisher, John Belushi, and Aretha Franklin!
One of the most classic, lightning films ever made. They don’t make movies like this anymore.
Lyrics:
Warden threw a party in the county jail
Prisonband was there and they began to wail
The joint was jumping and the place began to swing
You should have heard those knocked out jailbirds sing
Let’s rock, everybody, let’s rock
Everybody on the whole cell block
They was dancing 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 on the whole cell block
They was dancing to the jailhouse rock
Well, number 47 said to number 3
You’re the cutest jailbird I ever did see
I sure’ll be delighted with your company
Come on and do the jailhouse rock with me
Let’s rock, everybody let’s rock
Everybody on the whole cell block
They were dancing to the jailhouse rock
Let’s rock
Sad Sack 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
Can’t find a partner, use a wooden chair”
Let’s rock, everybody let’s rock
Everybody on the whole cell block
They was dancing to the jailhouse rock
They were dancing to the jailhouse rock
They was dancing to the jailhouse rock
They was dancing to the jailhouse rock
They was dancing to the jailhouse rock
Everybody on the whole cell block
They was dancing to the jailhouse rock
They was dancing to, dancing to, dancing to, dancing to
Dancing to the jailhouse rock
Oh, they was dancing, dancing, dancing, dancing
Dancing to the jailhouse rock
Everybody on the whole cell block
They was dancing to the jailhouse rock
Jailhouse rock, they was dancin’ to the jailhouse rock
They was dancin’ to the jailhouse rock
They was dancin’ to the jailhouse rock
Everybody on the whole cell block
They was dancing to the jailhouse rock
