| Drapkin Shake | to ``Jailhouse Rock'' by Elvis Presley |
|
Big disappointment for Revue today Head of the Supreme Court was comin' our way Law Revue's the welcome party, we've been told But then Justice Roberts left us out in the cold Let's shake, everybody, let's shake If you got a law-induced headache Get dancin' to the Drapkin Shake Schizer threw a party in the Drapkin space Law Revue was there with drums, axe, and bass We started swinging as the band members played Turnin' our lemons into lemonade Let's shake, everybody, let's shake If you got a law-induced headache Get dancin' to the Drapkin Shake Robbie Weinstock took his bass for walk Shamos taught his keys the proper way to rock Donovan and May made so much noise That Ash needed earplugs just to hang with these boys Let's shake, everybody, let's shake If you got a law-induced headache Get dancin' to the Drapkin Shake Take a guess who had the nerve to show his face Roberts, already there in the party space Hiding in the corner with a bartending girl When the music started they began to whirl Let's shake, everybody, let's shake If you got a law-induced headache Get dancin' to the Drapkin Shake Johnny told the cast that he liked their style He hadn't rocked out in quite a while ``Of all the Moot Courts this might have been the best, But now, I'm gonna perform my one-prong test'' Let's shake, everybody, let's shake If you got a law-induced headache Get dancin' to the Drapkin Shake |
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 shouldve 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 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 Bugs, 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 a while and get my kicks Let's rock, everybody, let's rock Everybody in the whole cell block Was dancin' to the jailhouse rock |
