Jailhouse Rock

Elvis Presley

Transposer:

The war-den threw a par-ty in the coun-ty jail The pri-son band was there and they be-gan to wail The band was jump-in'and the joint be-gan to swing You should- 've heard those knocked-out jail-birds sing Let's rock ! Let's rock ! Ev 'ry bo-dy in the whole cell block Was a dan-cin'to the Jailhouse Rock ! Spi-der Mur-phy play'd the ten-or sax-o-phone Lit-tle Joe was bow-in on the slide trom-bone The drum-mer boy from Il-li-nois went crash, boom, bang ! The whole rhy-thm was the pur-ple gang Let's rock ! Let's rock ! Ev 'ry bo-dy in the whole cell block Was a dan-cin'to the Jailhouse Rock ! Num-ber For-ty sev-en said to Num-ber Three "You're the cut-est jail-bird I ev-er didsee I sure would be de-light-ed with your com-pa-ny Come on and do the Jail-house Rock with me " Let's rock, etc... The sad sack was a-sittin'on a block of stone, Way over in the corner weeping 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, etc... 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, etc...

La chanson évoque une fête improvisée dans une prison, où les détenus se laissent emporter par la musique et dansent ensemble. Le gardien organise cet événement pour apporter un peu de joie dans cet endroit où l'ennui et la solitude règnent. On y trouve des personnages qui jouent des instruments et qui flirtent, transformant l'univers carcéral en un moment de camaraderie et d’évasion, même si pour certains, la tristesse et l'isolement persistent. Dans cet ambiance festive, malgré la dure réalité, on ressent une certaine légèreté et une envie de vivre, ne serait-ce que pour un instant.
