Medley: Jailhouse Rock / Don't Be Cruel (Live at The International Hotel, Las Vegas, NV - 8/21/69 Midnight Show) 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 them knocked-out jailbirds sing

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

You know I can be found
Sitting home all alone
If you can't come around
At least please telephone
Don't be cruel (o-oh-oh) to a heart that's true

Oh baby if I made you mad
For somethin' I might have said
Please just forget the past, before I kick your
Don't be cruel (o-oh-oh) to a heart

Oh-a-o-a-o-a (ah)
Baby it's just you I'm thinking of
Oh let's walk up to the preacher
And let us say I do
Then you'll know you'll have me
And I'll know that I'll have you
Don't be cruel (o-oh-oh) to a heart it's true

Oh-a-o-a-o-a (ah)
Baby it's just you I'm thinking of
Don't be cruel (o-oh-oh) to a heart it's true
Don't be cruel (o-oh-oh) to a heart it's true
Oh-a-o-a-o-a (ah)
Baby it's just you I'm thinking of
