D#7 E7 D#7 E7

[Verse 1]
D#7 E7
The warden threw a party in the county jail
 D#7 E7
The prison band was there and they began to wail
 D#7 E7
The band was jumpin' and the joint began to swing
 D#7 E7
You should've heard those knocked out jailbirds sing

[Chorus]
      A7                      E7
Let's rock, everybody, let's rock
      B7                     A7
Everybody in the whole cell block
      E7
Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock


[Verse 2]
 D#7 E7
Spider Murphy played the tenor saxophone

 D#7 E7
Little Joe was blowin' on the slide trombone

 D#7 E7
The drummer boy from Illinois went crash, boom, bang

 D#7 E7
The whole rhythm section was the Purple Gang
      A7                     E7
Let's rock, everybody, let's rock…..

[Verse 3]
 D#7 E7
Number forty-seven said to number three

 D#7 E7
You're the cutest jailbird I ever did see

 D#7 E7
I sure would be delighted with your company

 D#7 E7
Come on and do the Jailhouse Rock with Me
      A7                     E7
Let's rock, everybody, let's rock…..

 D#7 E7
The sad sack was a sittin' on a block of stone

 D#7 E7
Way over in the corner weepin' all alone

 D#7 E7
The warden said: Hey, buddy, don't you be no square

 D#7 E7
If you can't find a partner, use a wooden chair

      A7                     E7
Let's rock, everybody, let's rock…..

[Verse 4]
 D#7 E7
Shifty Henry said to Bugsy: For Heaven's sake

 D#7 E7
No one's lookin', now's our chance to make a break

 D#7 E7
Bugsy turned to Shifty and he said: Nix, nix

 D#7 E7
I wanna stick around awhile and get my kicks!

[Outro]
      A7                     E7
Let's rock, everybody, let's rock
     B7                     A7
Everybody in the whole cell block
    E7
Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock

Dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock, Dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock
