Jailhouse Rock

Written by Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller. This is The Animals version. 


  C# D  
The warden threw a party in the county jail  
prison band was there and they began to wail  
band was jumpin' and the joint began to swing  
should've heard thosed kocked out jail birds sing  

Chorus  

  G7  
Lets  Rock !  
  D  
Everybody Lets  Rock !  
  A7 G7  
Every body in the whole cell  block  
  D  
Was a- dancin' to the Jail-house Rock!  

  C# D  
  Spid er Murphy played the tenor saxophone  
Little Joe was blowin' on the slide trombone  
The drummer boy for Illinois went crash, boom, bang !  
The whole rhythm section was the purple gang  

Chorus  

  C# D  
  Numb er 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.  

Chorus  


  C# D  
  The  sad sack was a-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 !"  

Chorus  

  C# D  
  Shif ty Henry said to Bugs: "For Heaven's sakes,  
No one's lookin'; now's our chance to make a break  
Bugsy turned to Shifty and he said " Nix, nix;  
I wanna stick around a while and get my kicks.  

Chorus  

END  

ENJOY!
