Jackie Brenston & Ike TurnerRocket 88 Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You women have heard of jalopies
You've heard the noise they make
But let me introduce my new Rocket '88
Yes, it's straight, just won't wait
Everybody likes my Rocket '88
Baby, we'll ride in style
Movin' all along
[Verse 2]
V-8 motor and this modern design
Black convertible top and the gals don't mind
Sportin' with me, ridin' all around town for joy
Blow your horn, baby, blow
[Saxophone Solo]
[Verse 3]
Step in my Rocket and don't be late
Baby, we're pullin' out about a half-past eight
Goin' 'round the corner and get a beer
Everybody in my car is gonna take a little nip
Move on out, oozin' and cruisin' along
