C#   D
    The warden threw a party in the county jail
C#   D

    You should have heard those knocked out jailbirds sing

Let's rock
                D
Everybody let's rock
     A                      G
Everybody on the whole cell block
         D
They was dancing to the jailhouse rock

Let's rock

They was dancing to the jailhouse rock

Well number 47 said to number 3

You're the cutest jailbird I ever did see

Come on and do the jailhouse rock with me

Let's rock

    If you can't find a partner use a wooden chair
