Sweet Home Chicago

Work your money maker

Danielle smiled at Elwood as she pulled her harmonica out of her pocket and lifted it to her mouth. Nodding, he followed suit. Turning slightly she nodded at Willie.

Willie picked up his drumsticks ad began his beat. In turn the horns and sax parts began as did the guitars. Then came Danielle and Elwood started their harmonies as Jake began singing.

"The warden threw a party in the county jail
The prison band was there and they began to wail
The joint was jumping and the place began to swing
You should have heard those knocked out jailbirds sing

Let's rock
Everybody let's rock
Everybody on the whole cell block
They was dancing to the jailhouse rock"

Removing the microphone Dani sang her part,

"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"

Jake smiled at her as they sang the chorus,

"Let's rock
Everybody let's rock
Everybody on the whole cell block
They was dancing to the jailhouse rock"

Raising the harmonica back up to her lips she stepped away and began playing again as Jake continued on,

"Well number 47 said to number 3
You're the cutest jailbird I ever did see
I'd sure be delighted with your company
Come on and do the jailhouse rock with me
Let's rock
Everybody let's rock
Everybody on the whole cell block
They were dancing to the jailhouse rock
Let's rock!"

As the band played several measuresJake stepped back letting Danielle have her spotlight once more, letting her finish the song.

"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 on the whole cell blockThey was dancing to the jailhouse rock
They were dancing to the jailhouse rock
They was dancing to the jailhouse rock
They was dancing to the jailhouse rock
They was dancing to the jailhouse rock"

When they finished the room erupted in applause.

Then some patrons that were close to the stage did something that surprised the whole band. They began throwing quarters and dollar bills.

Looking at the band ,Danielle shrugged and before she could say anything they began to play "Do you love me?"

Taking a breath she began to sing,

You broke my heart 'cause I couldn't dance
You didn't even want me around
But now I'm back
To show you I can really shake 'em down
 Looking at Elwood he winked at her as he did the background vocals.

Do you love me (I can really move)
Do you love me (I'm in the groove)
Do you love me (do you love me)
Now that I can dance
Watch me now

Picking up the mic she began to do some moves while Jake and Elwood helped on the vocals

(work, work) now work it out baby
(work, work) oh, you're driving me crazy
(work, work) with a little bit of soul now
As if in unison the three of them began to do the dances as they were named
Well I can mash potato (I can mash potato)
I can do the twist (I can do the twist)
Well do the funky funky chicken (do the funky funky chicken)
Well do you like it like this (do you like it like this)
Tell me (tell me)
Tell me
Do you love me (I can really move)
Do you love me (I'm in the groove)
Do you love me (do you love me)
Now that I can dance
Watch me now
 Now do you love me (I can really move)
Do you love me (I'm in the groove)
Do you love me (do you love me)

And with that the trio bowed and the lights dimmed.
