Jailhouse Rock - Elvis Presley

The warden threw a party in the county jail

G# Prison band was there and they began to wail

G# Band was jumpin' and the joint began to swing

G# Should've heard those knocked out jailbirds sing

G# Spider Murphy played the tenor saxophone

G# Little Joe was blowin' on the slide trombone

G# The drummer boy for Illinois went crash, boom, bang!

G# The whole rhythm section was the purple gang

G# Number forty seven said to number three:

G# "You're the cutest jailbird I ever did see.

G# I sure would be delighted with your company

G# Come on and do the Jailhouse Rock with me."

G# The sad sack was a-sittin' on a block of stone

G# Way over in the corner weeping all alone

G# The warden said: "Hey, buddy, don't you be no square.

G# If you can't find a partner use a wooden chair!"

G# Shifty Henry said to Bugs: "For Heaven's sakes,

G# No one's lookin'; now's our chance to make a break

G# Bugsy turned to Shifty and he said "Nix, nix;

G# I wanna stick around a while and get my kicks."
