Jailhouse Rock

 

Elvis Presley

 

Key <E> ?

 

Warden threw a party in the county jail

Prison band was there they began to wail 

The band was jumping and the joint began to swing

You should of heard them knocked out jailbirds sing

 

Lets rock everybody lets rock

Everybody in the whole cell block

Was dancing to the jailhouse rock

 

Spider Murphy played the tenor saxaphone

Little John blowing on the slide trombone

Drummer boy from Illinois was crash boom bang

The whole rhythm section was a purple gang

 

Number forty seven said to number three

Your the cutest jailbird I ever did see

I sure would be delighted with your company

Come on do the jailhouse rock with me <instr>

 

Sad Sack was sitting on a block of stone

Was over in the corner weeping all alone

Warden said hey buddy don't you be so square

Can't find a partner use a wooden chair

 

Shifty Henry said Buggs for heavens sake

No ones looking out chance to make a break

Buggs turn to shifty and he say nix nix

I want to stick around want get my kicks
