E
The warden threw a party in the county jail,
E
Prison band was there and they began to wail,
E
Band was jumpin' and the joint began to swing,
E
Should've heard thosed knocked out jail birds sing,

     A                E
Lets rock, everybody, lets rock,
B7
Everybody in the whole cell block,
E
Was dancing to the jailhouse rock.

E
Spider Murphy played the tenor saxophone, 
E
Little Joe was blowin' on the slide trombone, 
E
The drummer boy from Illinois went crash, boom, bang,

The whole rhythm section was the purple gang,

     A                E
Lets rock, everybody, lets rock,

Number forty-seven said to number three,
E 
You're the cutest jailbird I ever did see,

Come on and do the jailhouse rock with me,

Lets rock, everybody, lets rock,
B7
Everybody in the whole cell block,
E
Was dancing to the jailhouse rock.

E
The sad sack was a sittin on a block of stone,
E
Way over in the corner weepin all alone,
E
The warden said, hey, buddy, don't you be no square,
E
If you can't find a partner use a wooden chair,

     A                E
Lets rock, everybody, lets rock,
B7
Everybody in the whole cell block,
E
Was dancing to the jailhouse rock.

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

     A                E
Lets rock, everybody, lets rock,
B7
Everybody in the whole cell block,
E
Was dancing to the jailhouse rock.
