	Eb	E	Eb	E

	Eb	E
	The	warden threw a party at the county jail

	Eb	E
	The	prison band was there and they began to wail

	Eb	E
	the	band was jumpin and the joint began to swing

	Eb	E
	You	should’ve hear those knocked out jailbirds sing

		A	E
	Let’s	rock, let’s	rock

		B	A
	Every	body in the whole cell	block

		E
	was	dancin’ to the jailhouse rock

	Eb	E
	Spid	er Murphy played the tenor saxophone

	Eb	E
	Litt	le Joe was blowin’ on the slide trombone

	Eb	E
	The	drummer boy from Illinois went crash boom bang

	Eb	E
	The	whole rythm section was the Purple gang

		A	E
	Let’s	rock, let’s	rock

		B	A
	Every	body in the whole cell	block

		E
	was	dancin’ to the jailhouse rock

	Eb	E
	Num	ber forty seven said to number three

	Eb	E
	You’re	the cutest jailbird I everd did see

	Eb	E
	I	sure would be delighted with your company

	Eb	E
	Come	and do the jailhouse rock with me

		A	E
	Let’s	rock, let’s	rock

		B	A
	Every	body in the whole cell	block

		E
	was	dancin’ to the jailhouse rock

	Eb	E
	The	sad Sack was sittin’ on a block of Stone

	Eb	E
	Way	over in the corner weepin’ all alone

	Eb	E
	The	warden said „Hey buddy don’t you be no square“

	Eb	E
	If	you can’t find a partner use a wooden chair

		A	E
	Let’s	rock, let’s	rock

		B	A
	Every	body in the whole cell	block

		E
	was	dancin’ to the jailhouse rock

	Eb	E
	Shif	ty Henry said to Bugs „For heaven’s sakes“

	Eb	E
	„No	one’s lookin’ now’s our chance to break“

	Eb	E
	Bug	sy turned to Shifty and he said „Nix nix“

	Eb	E
	I	wanna stick around a while and get my kicks

		A	E
	Let’s	rock, let’s	rock

		B	A
	Every	body in the whole cell	block

		E
	was	dancin’ to the jailhouse rock

	Eb	E
		Dancin in the jailhouse rock

	Eb	E
		Dancin in the jailhouse rock

	Eb	E
		Dancin in the jailhouse rock

	Eb	E	Eb	E
		Dancin in the jailhouse rock
