Medley: Jailhouse Rock / Don't Be Cruel Songtext
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 them knocked-out jailbirds sing
Let′s rock (let's rock, rock, rock) everybody, let's rock (rock, rock, rock)
Everybody in the whole cell block
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 (let′s rock, rock, rock) everybody, let's rock (rock, rock, rock)
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancin′ to the Jailhouse Rock
Dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock, dancin′ to the Jailhouse Rock
You know I can be found
Sitting home all alone
If you can't come around
At least please telephone
Don't be cruel to a heart that′s true
Baby, if I made you mad
For something I might have said
Please, let′s forget the past before I kick it
Don't be cruel to a heart that′s true
I don't want no other love
Baby it′s just you I'm thinking of
Let′s walk up to the preacher
And let us say I do
Then you'll know you'll have me
And I′ll know that I′ll have you
Don't be cruel to a heart that′s true
I don't want no other love
Baby it′s just you I'm thinking of
Don′t be cruel to a heart that's true
Don't be cruel to a heart that′s true
I don′t want no other love
Baby it's just you I′m thinking of
The prison band was there and they began to wail
The band was jumpin′ and the joint began to swing
You should've heard them knocked-out jailbirds sing
Let′s rock (let's rock, rock, rock) everybody, let's rock (rock, rock, rock)
Everybody in the whole cell block
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 (let′s rock, rock, rock) everybody, let's rock (rock, rock, rock)
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancin′ to the Jailhouse Rock
Dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock, dancin′ to the Jailhouse Rock
You know I can be found
Sitting home all alone
If you can't come around
At least please telephone
Don't be cruel to a heart that′s true
Baby, if I made you mad
For something I might have said
Please, let′s forget the past before I kick it
Don't be cruel to a heart that′s true
I don't want no other love
Baby it′s just you I'm thinking of
Let′s walk up to the preacher
And let us say I do
Then you'll know you'll have me
And I′ll know that I′ll have you
Don't be cruel to a heart that′s true
I don't want no other love
Baby it′s just you I'm thinking of
Don′t be cruel to a heart that's true
Don't be cruel to a heart that′s true
I don′t want no other love
Baby it's just you I′m thinking of
