[Intro]
D A D A
[Verse 1]
D The warden threw a party in the county jail, D Prison band was there and they began to wail, D Band was jumpin' and the joint began to swing, D Should've heard thosed knocked out jail birds sing,
[Chorus]
G7 D Lets rock, everybody, lets rock, A7 G Everybody in the whole cell block, D Was dancing to the jailhouse rock.
[Verse 2]
D Spider Murphy played the tenor saxophone, D Little Joe was blowin' on the slide trombone, D The drummer boy from Illinois went crash, boom, bang, D The whole rhythm section was the purple gang,
[Chorus]
G D Lets rock, everybody, lets rock, A7 G Everybody in the whole cell block, D Was dancing to the jailhouse rock.
[Verse 3]
D Number forty-seven said to number three, D You're the cutest jailbird I ever did see, D I sure would be delighted with your company, D Come on and do the jailhouse rock with me,

[Verse 4]
D The sad sack was a sittin on a block of stone, D Way over in the corner weepin all alone, D The warden said, hey, buddy, don't you be no square, D If you can't find a partner use a wooden chair,
[Chorus]
G7 D Lets rock, everybody, lets rock, A7 G7 Everybody in the whole cell block, D Was dancing to the jailhouse rock.
[Verse 5]
D Shifty Henry said to bugs, for goodness sake, D No ones lookin, now's our chance to make a break, D Bugsy turned to shifty and he said, nix nix, D Gotta stick around a while I get my kicks,
[Chorus]
G7 D Lets rock, everybody, lets rock, A7 G7 Everybody in the whole cell block, D Was dancing to the jailhouse rock.
[Outro]
D Bumpin' to the jailhouse rock D Rockin' to the jailhouse rock
