Lyrics
Intro
Warden threw a party in the county jail…
But tonight the band ain’t playin’… they’re all in the shower…
Let’s rock…
Verse 1
The warden threw a party in the county jail
The prison band was there but the showers didn’t fail
Whole cell block stripped down, skin shining clean
Everybody grabbin’ soap, know what I mean?
Chorus
Everyone’s in the shower block at the Jailhouse Rock
Cleaning their booty for free
Scrubbing their cocks, ram-a-dam-a-dam-dam
They grab the hose and yell, “Yippee!”
Verse 2
Number 47 said to Number 3
“Pass the soap, baby, come stand close to me”
They’re slippin’ and slidin’ under the hot stream
Rubbing and rinsing, living that prison dream
Chorus
Everyone’s in the shower block at the Jailhouse Rock
Cleaning their booty for free
Scrubbing their cocks, ram-a-dam-a-dam-dam
They grab the hose and yell, “Yippee!”
Verse 3
Stu’s in the corner weeping like an old man
Clutching his towel with a five-year master plan
He won’t turn around, he won’t drop that soap
Stares at the tiles and quietly loses hope
Verse 4
Big Bubba grabbed the hose with a thunderous roar
Sprayed it high and low, now the whole block’s soaked some more
Water shootin’ wild like a firehose fountain
Everybody dancin’, hollerin’, “More soap! More mountain!”
Verse 5
Tiny Tim came sliding ‘cross the slippery floor
Tried to stay upright but he lost it by the door
Landed on his knees with a high-pitched yelp
Now he’s eye-to-eye with the wrong kind of help
Bridge
The guard on duty leaned back with a dirty grin
Said “Gentlemen, wash every crack and every inch within”
He tossed in extra bars of that cheap government soap
Twenty grown men screamed at once… “NOPE!”
Old man Jenkins thinks it’s still nineteen fifty-three
Singing doo-wop while scrubbing on one knee
Shouting “Eric Blander would be proud of this rock ‘n’ roll shower!”
While the young ones twerk it under twenty gallons an hour
Extra Verse
Lights start flickerin’, the water’s turning cold
But nobody’s stopping, the story’s getting old
They’re still lathered up, doing the prison jive
One last ram-a-dam before they barely survive
Outro / Fade
Yeah, it’s still Jailhouse Rock… but it ain’t
‘Cause everybody’s naked and nobody’s a saint
Water running hot, bodies bumping, don’t you dare stop
Just keep on scrubbing… at the Jailhouse… Rock…
(fade out with echoing “ram-a-dam-a-dam-dam… yippee… don’t drop the soap… scrubbing my cock… one more time, boys!”
