Mike Stoller, Jerry Leiber, Leiber-Stoller

Part I: Jailhouse Rock

[Verse 1]
The warden threw a party in the county jail
The prison band was there and they began to wail
The band was jumping and the joint began to swing
You should've heard those knocked out jailbirds sing

[Chorus]
Let's rock, everybody, let's rock and roll tonight
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancing to the Jailhouse Rock

[Verse 2]
Spider Murphy played the tenor saxophone
Little Joe was blowing on the slide trombone
The drummer boy from Illinois went crash, boom, bang
The whole rhythm section was the Purple Gang

[Chorus]
Let's rock, everybody, let's rock and roll tonight
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancing to the Jailhouse Rock
Come on

[Verse 3]
Number forty-seven said to number three
"You're the cutest jailbird I ever did see
Sure would be delighted with your company
Come on and do the Jailhouse Rock with me"

[Chorus]
Let's rock, come on, everybody, let's rock and roll tonight
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancing to the Jailhouse Rock
One more time

Part II: Stupid Cupid

Stupid Cupid, you're a real mean guy
I, oh, no, no, I don't know, you can't fly
Ooh, it's a crying shame
Stupid Cupid, stop playing that game
Hey hey, set me free
Stupid Cupid, stop picking on me

Part III: Be-Bop-A-Lula

Be-bop-a-lula, she's my baby
Be-bop-a-lula, you're drivin' me crazy
Be-bop-a-lula, goin' insane
Be-bop-a-lula, gonna play that game
A-rock and roll, rock and roll, everybody
Ah, ah, ah

Part IV: Jailhouse Rock (Reprise)

[Chorus]
Alright, okay, oh
Keep dancing to the jailhouse
Dancing to the jailhouse rock
Oh, baby
Everybody in the whole cell block
Dancing to the jailhouse rock

[Bridge: Freddie Mercury & Crowd]

Dancing to the jailhouse rock, everybody, sing
Jailhouse rock
Keep dancing to the jailhouse rock, let me hear you
Dancing to the jailhouse rock

Shake it
Shake, rattle, and roll
Ooh, ooh, yeah
Come on, yeah
Oh, everybody, rock and roll
Ooh, yeah
Yeah, yeah

[Verse 4]
The sad sack was a sitting on a block of stone
Way in the corner weeping 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]
Let's rock, everybody, let's rock and roll tonight
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancing to the Jailhouse Rock

[Outro]
Keep dancing to the Jailhouse Rock
Keep dancing to the Jailhouse Rock, yeah, yeah
Oh yeah, oh, ooh yeah, nice
We're dancing to the Jailhouse Rock

Goodnight everybody

[Audience Applauds]

[Spoken Word: Brian May]
Alright, this is where we start I think, but we're on our own now Okay
