Get It/Jailhouse Rock Songtext
von Commander Cody & His Lost Planet Airmen

Okay, Mr. Bass Man, kill me

Well, once there was a girl, oh, she was so sweet
Well, she said to me, "Can this be?
Where′s my diamond ring?"
Diamond ring (Diamond ring)
Well, can I get me a diamond ring?

I don't have it now but I can get it (Get it)
I don′t have it now but I can get it (Get it)
I don't have it now but I can get it (Get it)
And I do the best I can
Get it (Get it), get it (Get it)

Well, once there was a girl, oh, she was so sweet
Well, she said to me, "Can this be?
Where's my Cadillac car?"
Cadillac car (Cadillac car)
Well, where can I get me a Cadillac car?


I don′t have it now but I can get it (Get it)
I don′t have it now but I can get it (Get it)
I don't have it now but I can get it (Get it)
And I do the best I can
Get it (Get it), get it (Get it)

Well, I walked through a party in the county jail
Met the man one day when he began to wail
The band was jumpin′ and the joint began to swing
Lord, I heard a knocked out jailbird sing

Let's rock
Everybody, let′s rock (Go)
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock

The body in the middle played a-tenor saxophone
The little devil blowin′ on his large trombone
The drummer boy from Illinois went crash, boom, bang
The whole rhythm section was a Purple Gang

Let's rock
Everybody, let's rock (Go, go, go, go)
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancin′ to the Jailhouse Rock


Number forty-seven said to number three
"You′re the cutest jailbird I ever did see
Shouldn't be delighted with your company
Wanna do the Jailhouse Rock with me?"

Let′s rock
Everybody, let's rock (Hey)
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancin′ to the Jailhouse Rock, rock now, now

Well, sad sack was a-sittin' on a block of stone
Down in the alley weepin′ all alone
The warden said, "Hey, buddy, don't you swear
You're gonna find a partner, use a wooden chair"

Let′s rock
Everybody, let′s rock (Hey)
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock
Rock-rock-rock, dancin′ to the Jailhouse Rock
Dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock
Dancin′ to the Jailhouse Rock
Dancin', dancin′ to the Jailhouse Rock
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancin' to the Jailhouse
Rock-rock-rock, dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock
Dancin′ to the Jailhouse
I say they were dancin′ to the
Jailhouse, Jailhouse, yeah
