Released in 1957 for the film Jailhouse Rock, “Jailhouse Rock” is one of Elvis Presley’s most iconic rock ’n’ roll songs and a defining moment in music history. Written by Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller, the track became a massive hit and helped shape the sound and attitude of early rock — energetic, rebellious, and unforgettable. With its driving rhythm, catchy lyrics, and Elvis’s charismatic vocal delivery, the song is built for fun performances and crowd interaction. Vocally, it’s perfect for practicing rhythmic phrasing, classic rock ’n’ roll swagger, articulation, and stage presence — a true showpiece for any singer who loves vintage rock. This professional karaoke / instrumental version keeps the original groove and punch, making it ideal for karaoke performances, vocal practice, rock ’n’ roll covers, live shows, and classic hits fans. Lyrics: 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 those knocked out jailbirds sing Let's rock, everybody, let's 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, everybody, let's rock 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 I sure would be delighted with your company Come on and do the Jailhouse Rock with me Let's rock, everybody, let's rock Everybody in the whole cell block Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock The sad sack was a 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 If you can't find a partner, use a wooden chair Let's rock, everybody, let's rock Everybody in the whole cell block Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock Shifty Henry said to Bugsy: For Heaven's sake No one's lookin', now's our chance to make a break Bugsy turned to Shifty and he said: Nix, nix I wanna stick around awhile and get my kicks! Let's rock, everybody, let's rock Everybody in the whole cell block Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock Dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock Dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock Dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock Dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock #elvispresley #jailhouserock #rockandroll #50srock #classicrock #oldies #elviskaraoke #vocalhero #karaokeversion #instrumental #withoutvocals #singingpractice #vocaltraining #rockcover #karaokebacktrack #vintagemusic #rockabilly #timelessclassic #legendaryartist #rocknrolllegend #danceclassic #bandkaraoke #rockperformance
