Jailhouse Rock - Elvis Presley

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 those knocked out jailbirds sing

D# Spider Murphy played the tenor saxophone

D# Little Joe was blowin' on the slide trombone

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

D# The whole rhythm section was the purple gang

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."

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

D# Way over in the corner weeping 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!"

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

D# No one's 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."
