Jail House Rock [D]Elvis

D

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,

Lets G rock, everybody, D lets rock,
Every-A7body in the whole cell G7 block,
D Were dancing to the jailhouse rock.

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,

Lets G rock, everybody, D lets rock,
Every-A7body in the whole cell G7 block,
D Were dancing to the jailhouse rock.

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,

Lets G rock, everybody, D lets rock,
Every-A7body in the whole cell G7 block,
D Were dancing to the jailhouse rock.

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,

Lets G rock, everybody, D lets rock,
Every-A7body in the whole cell G7 block,
D Were dancing to the jailhouse rock.

D Shifty Henry said to bugs, for heavens sake,
D No ones lookin, now's our chance to make a break,
D Bugsy turned to shifty and he said, nix nix,
D I wanna stick around a while and get my kicks,

Lets G rock, everybody, D lets rock,
Every-A7body in the whole cell G7 block,
D Were dancing to the jailhouse rock.
D Dancing to the jailhouse rock x4 then D* STOP
