JAILHOUSE ROCK

ELVIS PRESLEY

Paroles et musique :Jerry Leiber & Mike Stoller

Tonalité :

The wa r-den threw a par-ty in the coun-ty jail

The pr i-son band was there and they be-gan to wail

T he ban d was jump-in'and the joint be-gan to swing

You sh ould- 've heard those knocked-out jail-birds sing

Let's r ock ! Let's rock !

Ev 'ry b o-dy in the w hole cell block

Was a d an-cin'to the J ailhouse Rock ___ !

S pi-der Mur-phy play'd the ten-or sax-o-phone ___

Lit-tle Joe was bow-in on the slide trom-bone

The d rum-mer boy from Il-li-nois went crash, boom, bang !

The w hole rhy-thm was the pur-ple gang

Let's r ock ! Let's rock !

Ev 'ry b o-dy in the whole cell block

Was a d an-cin'to the J ailhouse Rock ___ !

Num-ber For-ty sev-en said to Num-ber Three

" You're the cut-est jail-bird I ev-er didsee

I sure would be de-light-ed with your com-pa-ny

C ome on and do the Jail-house Rock with me "

Let's r ock, etc...

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 !"

Let's rock, etc...

Shifty Henry said to Bugs, "For Heaven's sake,

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,"

Let's rock, etc...
