Freddie Mercury
Jailhouse Rock / Stupid Cupid / Be-Bop-a-Lula (Live at the Rainbow, London, 31st March 1974)
The warden threw a party in the county jail
Prison band was there and they began to wail
Band was jumpin' and the joint began to swing
Should've heard them knocked out jailbirds sing
Let's rock
Everybody let's rock
Everybody in the whole cell block
Dancing to the jailhouse rock
Number forty-seven said to number three
You're the cutest jailbird I ever did see
Sure would be delighted in your company
Come on and do the jailhouse rock with me
Let's rock, everybody, let's rock
Everybody in the whole cell block
Dancin' to the jailhouse rock
Well, Spider Murphy played the tenor saxophone
Little Joe was blowing on his slide trombone
Drummer boy from Illinois went crash, boom, bang
Whole rhythm section was the purple gang
Let's rock, everybody, let's rockin' and a-rollin' tonight
Everybody in the whole cell block
Dancing to the jailhouse rock
(guitar solo)
One more time
Stupid Cupid, you're a real mean guy
Woman, woman, oh mah you can fly
Ooh, it's a crying shame
Stupid stop playing that game
Hey, hey, set me free
Stupid stop ah-aw
Be-bop a lula - you're shooting my baby
Be-bop a lula - she's driving me crazy
Be-bop a lula - she don't understand
Be-bop a lula - don't a play that game
You've got a rocker, you've got a roller
You've gotta be my baby, baby, baby, ooh
One more time
Well, sad sack sittin' on a block of stone
Way in the corner weepin' all alone
Don't you tell nobody, don't you be no square
Can't find a partner use a wooden chair
Let's rock, everybody let's rock
Everybody in the whole cell block
Dancing to the jailhouse rock
We've gone dancing to the jailhouse rock
Gone dancing to the jailhouse rock
Dancing
Dancing
Let me hear you do it
Yeah
You clapping up there?
They've got a boogie
They gotta roll
They've got a-shake it
Hot and cold
They've got a boogie
You're doing well
Just do it for the jailhouse rock
Get dancin' to the jailhouse rock
Dancing to the jailhouse rock
Gone dancing to the jailhouse rock
Dancing
Dancing
Dancing
You've got 'em dancing to the jailhouse rock
Dancin' to the jailhouse rock
Dancin' to the jailhouse rock
Dancin' to the jailhouse rock
Dancin' to the jailhouse rock
Dancing to the jailhouse rock
(Freddie: Thank you. We'd like to end, we'd like to end with the number we usually end with, for those who've seen us, it's called 'Liar')
