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 from the purple gang.

Let's rock, oh little baby, 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

I don't know what is it is that makes me love you so

I only know I never wanna let you go

'Cause you started something, can't you see

That ever since we met you've had a hold on me

No matter what you do, I only wanna be with you

You stopped to smile at me

And asked if I cared to dance

I fell into your open arms

And I didn't stand a change

Now listen honey

I just wanna be beside you everywhere

As long as we're together honey, I don't care

'Cause you started something, can't you see

That ever since we met you've got a hold on me

No matter what you do I only wanna be with you

Tempted by the fruit of another

Tempted but the truth is discovered

I bought a toothbrush, some toothpaste, a flannel for my face

Pajamas, a hairbrush, new shoes and a case.

I said to my reflection, Let's get out of this place.

Tempted by the fruit of another

Tempted but the truth is discovered

What's been going on

Now that you have gone

There's no other

Tempted by the fruit of another

Tempted but the truth is discovered

Pressure pushing down on me

Pressing down on you no man ask for

Under pressure

That burns a building down

Splits a family in two

Puts people on streets

Turned away from it all

Like a blind man

Sat on a fence but it don't work

Keep coming up with love

But it's so slashed and torn

Why why why why why?

Love Love Love Love Love

Insanity laughs under pressure we're cracking

Can't we give ourselves one more chance?

Why can't we give love one more chance?

Why can't we give love give love give love?

Give love give love give love give love give love?

Cause love's such an old fashioned word

And love dares you to care

For the people on the edge of the light

And love dares you to change our way

Of caring about ourselves

This is our last dance

This is ourselves under pressure

Under pressure

Now there was a time

When they used to say

That behind every great man

There had to be a great woman.

Oh, in these times of change

You know that it's no longer true.

So we're coming out of the kitchen

'cause theres something we forgot to say to you.

Sisters are doing it for themselves.

Yeah

Now this is a song to celebrate

The conscious liberation of the female state.

We've got doctors, lawyers politicians too

Oh yeah

Everybody take a look around.

Can't you see, can't you see, can't you see?

Theres a woman right next to you.

Whoa yeah!

Sisters are doing it for themselves.

Standing on their own two feet.

Ringing on their own bells

Sisters are doing it for themselves

Deep down in Louisiana close to New Orleans

Way back up in the woods among the evergreens

Stood a log cabin made of earth and wood

Lived a country boy named Johnny B. Good

Who never ever learned to read or write so well

But he could play the guitar just like a ring in a bell

Go, go, go Johnny go, go, go Johnny, go go

Go Johnny go, go, go Johnny go go

Johnny B. Good
