This is a lyric from "Jailhouse Rock" sung by Elvis Presley and written by Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller in 1957.

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"

It is seen as a reference to prison sex, a gay romance. Considering the year and times, it is incredible that it passed through all the censors!
The song was inducted into the Grammy Hall of fame in 2016.
"Rolling Stone" magazine puts the song at #67 on its "500 Greatest Songs of All Times".
It has also been named by the Rock and Roll hall of Fame as one of the "500 Songs That Shaped Rock and Roll".
