DThe D#warden threw a party at the county jail
DThe D#prison band was there and they began to wail
DThe D#band was jumpin’ and the joint began to swing
DYou D#should've heard those knocked out GjailAbirds Bsing H®: Let’s G#rock
Everybody, let’s D#rock
EveryA#body in the whole cell G#block
Was D#dancin’ to the Jailhouse Rock
Spider Murphy played the tenor saxophone
Little Joe was blowin’ on the slide trombone
The drummer boy from Illinois went crash, boom, bang
The whole rhythm section was a purple gang

Number forty-seven said to number three
You’re the cutest jailbird I ever did see
I sure would be delighted with your company
Come on and do the jailhouse rock with me
®G#, D#, A#, G#, D#
The sad sack was sittin’ on a block of stone
Way over in the corner weeping all alone
The warden said, "Hey buddy don’t you be no square
if you can’t find a partner use a wooden chair"

Shifty Henry said to Bugs, "For heaven’s sake
no ones lookin nows our chance to make a break"
Bugsy turned to sSifty and he said nix nix
I wanna stick around a while and get my kicks
