**Jailhouse Rock**

The warden threw a party in the county jail.
The prison band was there and they began to wail.
The band was jumpin' and the joint began to swing.
You should've heard those knocked out jailbirds sing.
Let's rock, everybody, let's rock.
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was a 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 the Purple Gang.
Let's rock, everybody, let's rock.
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was a dancin' to the jailhouse rock.

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."
Let's rock, everybody, let's rock.
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was a dancin' to the jailhouse rock.

The sad sack was a sittin' on a block of stone
way over in the corner weepin' 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, everybody, let's rock.
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was a dancin' to the jailhouse rock.

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, everybody, let's rock.
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was a dancin' to the jailhouse rock.

**Heartbreak Hotel**

Well, since my baby left me, well, I found a new place to dwell.
Well, it's down at the end of lonely street, at Heartbreak Hotel,
Where I'll be, I'll be so lonely, baby,
Well, I'm so lonely, I'll be so lonely I could die.

Although it's always crowded, you still can find some room
For broken-hearted lovers to cry there in their gloom.
It'll make you so lonely, baby, it'll make you so lonely
They're so alone there, they could die.

Now the bell-hop's tears keep flowin', and the desk clerk's dressed in black.
Well, they been so long on lonely street, they'll never, never look back.
It'll make you so lonely, baby, well, they're so lonely,
Well, they're so lonely, they could die.

Well now, if your baby leaves you, and you got a tale to tell,
Well, just take a walk down lonely street to Heartbreak Hotel,
Where you will be, well, you'll be so lonely, baby, you'll be lonely,
You'll be so lonely you could die.

Although it's always crowded, you still can find some room
For broken-hearted lovers to cry there in their gloom.
It'll be so lonely, baby, well, they're so lonely,
They'll be so lonely, they could die...

**Love Me Tender**

Love me tender, love me sweet,
Never let me go.
You have made my life complete,
And I love you so.

Love me tender, love me true,
All my dreams fulfilled.
For my darlin' I love you,
And I always will.

Love me tender, love me long,
Take me to your heart.
For it's there that I belong,
And we'll never part.

Love me tender, love me true,
All my dreams fulfilled.
For my darlin' I love you,
And I always will.

Love me tender, love me dear,
Tell me you are mine.
I'll be yours through all the years,
Till the end of time.

Love me tender, love me true,
All my dreams fulfilled.
For my darlin' I love you,
And I always will.
